Актёр Тоби Джонс стал покровителем проекта по защите природы в сельской местности

Award-winning Harry Potter actor Toby Jones has shared his passionate thoughts on the environment at a Cotswolds event FarmED near Chipping Norton hosted the special fundraising event with Mr Jones on August 16. He is one of Britain's most admired and versatile actors, with acclaimed performances voicing Dobby in the Harry Potter films, and as Alan Bates in the ITV drama series Mr Bates vs The Post Office. Alex Dye, FarmED's public engagement coordinator who interviewed Mr Jones on the night, said: "It was so inspiring to hear him share stories about his extraordinary career across stage, television and film." However, what made the night special for Mr Dye was his appreciation for nature and wildlife. He said: "He took a good deal of time out from talking about the highlights of his memorable roles and life behind the scenes, to emphasise that he had come to FarmED because he really believes in our mission and objectives." Read more Mr Jones was keen to discuss his new role as Patron of the John Clare Countryside Project, near Peterborough. The project aims to put nature at the heart of local action on the climate and biodiversity crisis, using John Clare’s poetry to unite landowners, charities, businesses and public bodies in supporting heritage, public access and nature recovery. Ian Wilkinson, FarmED co-founder, said: "In the relaxed and intimate surroundings of the eco barn, we were all very privileged to hear him talk about a cause that’s very close to his heart and one which aligns so closely to our work here." FarmED is a not-for-profit organisation that uses event proceeds to help people explore the future of farming and the benefits of regenerative agriculture.
