This year Transition Town Totnes (TTT) is celebrating their upcoming 20th birthday with our first Midsummer Festival, a vibrant weekend-long celebration to honour nearly two decades of climate action and community-led change, with a weekend of music, art, theatre, and interactive visioning events.
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.
No doubt many of the SuSH readers had fun getting involved in some form of hedge-y activity during the recent National Hedge Week: what great weather for encouraging folks to be outside!
