Tipping points are moments when small changes lead to big, sometimes irreversible changes in a system.
We had a great time at our Changemakers catch up on Friday 28th February. It was an unusual one for us as we went into it with no agenda, we wanted to hear from you about your latest news and how we can support you in 2025.
The Bidwell Brook Partnership brings together Dartington and Rattery Parish Councils, landowners, farmers, businesses, and conservation groups to improve water quality, biodiversity, and sustainable land management.

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.
