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.
PLANET LOCAL
Bigbury has some of the most amazing, sustainable businesses, service providers and producers. Look out for the Planet Local signs on the shelves at Holywell Stores and choose locally made, produced and grown produce in our village shop.
We are also designing an exciting sustainable event as a showcase of what South Hams has to offer. We hope that the Sustainable Festival will become a regular community event which will be replicated across the South Hams.
Sustainable Festival
The Eco Business Mentor of Sustainable South Hams for small eco businesses is piloting the first "roadshow' called the Sustainable Festival at the Memorial Hall in St Ann's Chapel on the 3rd December. Fun for the whole family - music, food, drinks, Christmas presents and workshops. More information soon. Contact organiser.
