Over fifty organisations already taking action on climate change, social justice and recovering nature in South Devon are invited to a Round Table Discussion at Follaton House, home of South Hams District Council on Wednesday 10th September at 3pm.
The new agroforestry grants from DEFRA, offered via the Countryside Stewardship (CS) process, should add more trees to existing UK farming systems and help add resilience as the climate warms.
Community composting enthusiasts from across 6 South Hams projects joined us for a sunny evening tour of compost sites, along with compost portfolio holder Cllr Jacqi Hodgson.
Bat conservation, hedgehog conservation, engaging with local landowners, home energy saving, exploring renewable energy generation
We have declared a climate & environmental emergency, we voted that we would consider the climate & environment in every decision and action, we have embedded that within our formal process and hire agreements, etc, we created an ongoing phased Habitat Plan to improve biodiversity on land we own or manage, and we are working on a wider Climate & Environment Plan.
Our aim is to take action to address the climate emergency and to deliver the Devon Carbon Plan by creating a Devon that runs entirely on green energy. We believe that, rather than buying power from outside the country, we can produce clean, locally owned energy here in Devon. This will significantly boost our local economy, retaining approximately £1.76 billion in our county and creating a local industry and jobs across the region.
