The Great Big Green Week is the UK’s biggest ever celebration of community action to tackle climate change and protect nature. Set up by the Climate Coalition, thousands of events across the country are being organised to celebrate local action.
We've been working with lots of great organisations in the local area to bring together a fantastic week of activities for all to get involved in.
We've got a great mix of events already lined up for the week, including:

During the week, we'll also be encouraging people to write their letters to tomorrow and post them on a tree at New Leaf in Woodhatch and working with ArtMatters where you can have a go at printing as part of a collaborative environmental art piece. We'll also be working with schools to deliver talks and encourage them to organise a series of activities for their students.
