ENVIRONMENT
Wildlife in the South Hams AONB is under extreme threat from Climate Change and loss of habitat. Without our concerted efforts to rebuild habitats in our gardens, farmlands, riverbanks and seashore - some species are tottering on the brink of extinction. Local action to monitor, rebuild and conserve our wildlife is of great importance and very rewarding. Nature wants to live, and will live, if we give it a chance.
ENERGY
The rising cost of living and the unbelievable increase in the cost of energy is focusing attention on ways in which energy consumption and costs can be reduced. A local community renewable energy project could save money and reduce our carbon footprint
