A Greener Tomorrow - The Importance of Looking After Our Environment

Philippa Forrester

Glyndŵr University, Plas Coch Site, Wrexham

Organiser, Glyndŵr University

This year the Wrexham Science Festival will be officially launched by TV celebrity, acclaimed producer and successful writer Philippa Forrester.

Since leaving her children’s television days behind in the early 90s Philippa has been at the forefront of technological innovation and conservational issues. Her accolades range from hosting Tomorrow’s World to presenting documentaries for the BBC Natural History Unit.

Off camera, Philippa and her husband Charlie Hamilton-James have set up the successful production company Halcyon Media, producing award-winning documentaries such as “My Halcyon River” and “An Otter in the Family”, both shown on BBC2. If all of the above were not enough, Philippa is also a keen author, having had a number of works published and making regular contributions to big name magazines and newspapers.

Philippa will be opening the Festival with a short talk on the environmental and green issues we currently face.

There will also be an opportunity to ask her some questions and meet her in person.

This event is suitable for all ages.
