In winter 2022 Neroche Woodlanders ran a new Climate-Aware Volunteering programme, open to anyone living around Taunton, Wellington and the Blackdown Hills. This series of free, short introductory session started in January 2022, to welcome new volunteers into the woods, while at the same time helping them learn more about climate and nature. Organiser Gavin Saunders said: “We’re aiming this new programme at people who want to do something practical outdoors to help wildlife and people, and who also feel worried or confused about the climate and biodiversity crises, and want to learn more while connecting with others.” There were four woodland-based learning days, fortnightly on Wednesdays. Participants explored aspects of climate issues through discussion, outdoors around a campfire, while also getting a hands-on introduction to practical conservation work. The topics for the four sessions were: Wed 12th January COP26, Net Zero, 1.5 degrees, and other jargon – getting your head round the basics Wed 26th January Trees and carbon – understanding how hard they work for us Wed 9th February Meat, livestock, grass and soil – exploring the complexities Wed 23rd February Personal action for the climate – what can we usefully do as individuals? The sessions were led by Gavin Saunders and Jenny Archard, who together founded Neroche Woodlanders more than ten years ago. Free Downloads...
