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!
This winter marked a major milestone for The Sharpham Trust and Ambios as nearly 3,000 trees were planted as part of the Plymouth and South Devon Community Forest project across 10 hectares of land, supported by the energy and dedication of hundreds of volunteers, trainees, and local community members.
On 26th/27th April we hosted our 2nd annual Community Composting Masterclass. The event brought together existing groups with new and emerging ones to learn, discuss, connect, share and inspire.
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.
