In this special bonus episode of All Nature, from the Carbon Copy Podcast, we meet Gnisha Bevan. Gnisha and co-founder Roger Griffith, MBE started the Black Seeds Network around five years ago to provide a platform for environmentalists of colour to socialise, gain support, seek opportunities, develop innovation, knowledge and expertise on environmental issues. Now, the network has joined with partners including Friends of the Earth to create a year-long programme of events and activities called “Nature Rising.” We met Gnisha via the team at the West of England Combined Authority, who have proved some funding for the Nature Rising programme and suggested we might like to learn more about the Black Seeds Network.

Originally recorded for All Nature, Episode 4; the conversation was so interesting and engaging we decided to create this bonus episode to give you, the listeners, more of the story.
