Midgley’s mixed moral community is a framework that springboards from human-animal relations as always-already integral to our relationship with others. The fact that non-human life listens is a crucial part of Midgley’s approach to shift from what divides us from animals and the natural world, to what we share. Listening is a key tenet of our similarities with other animals and part of how we order and shape our lives. Non-human life listens, in terms of detection, coordination and collective thriving. Midgley stressed an emotional porousness of the human species barrier and she knew that our relationships with animals cultivate our capacity for extended sympathy, playful inquiry and curiosity, and dynamic potential for cross-species entanglements.

Our workshops designed for young people explore various ways of listening to a wide range of species that call Pembrokeshire their home and love it - just as we do.
