Education and engagement are vital in tackling climate change. By providing knowledge and awareness about the environment, we empower individuals to make informed decisions and take meaningful action. Engaging people in the climate challenge fosters a sense of responsibility and collective effort, driving positive change for a sustainable future.
The Sustainable South Hams team has had a great few weeks meeting groups and organisations working to restore and protect nature in and around South Hams.
