Our last Changemakers meeting focused on how we communicate climate and nature change through community events.
With the support of the Government’s Trees for Climate Land Acquisition Fund, South Hams District Council have purchased a 65-acre site to be transformed into a community woodland, orchard, and market garden.
Often the Sustainable South Hams compost mentors will come out to communities to share the love for compost, but last week, a group of compost enthusiasts from Dartmouth and Totnes did a tour around several of the fabulous community sites that exist in the South Hams.
Sustainable Littlehempston is a working group set up by the Parish Council to help improve biodiversity and tackle the climate crisis. Projects include: Tree planting and biodiversity in the parish, improving energy efficiency in parishioners homes, improving the walking and cycling connection to Totnes, helping parishioners grow and share food and reduce food waste.
