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.
We are looking for 4 communities in South Hams that would like to host a 3-hour Home Composting workshop between June and Sep. Are you part of a community group that would like to host us?
Across England we've had the sunniest March ever recorded and the 3rd driest March on record! For growers and farmers, the glorious sunshine was frequently accompanied by a dry easterly breeze, exacerbating the drying effect on the soils: for us this meant ewes with lambs in fields but the grass not growing.

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.
