| From Roots to Renewal: Empowering Local Communities for Nature’s Revival Join us for an engaging discussion on how local communities can lead the way in tackling the climate and nature crises. As both an External Affairs Officer for the Woodland Trust and a district councillor, I have seen firsthand how small, grassroots efforts — particularly through town and parish councils — can drive meaningful environmental change. This session will explore the vital role of local leadership in safeguarding and enhancing natural heritage, from planting trees and restoring hedgerows to influencing planning policies. We’ll discuss how you can leverage free resources, like Woodland Trust tree packs, and mobilise your community to create lasting green legacies. Whether in rural villages or urban spaces, every action — no matter how small — contributes to a wider resurgence of nature. Come ready to be inspired and to explore practical ways to make a real impact in your local area. From Roots to Renewal: Empowering Local Communities for Nature’s Revival |
