Join the ‘Climate Conservation Corps’

 

 

Do Something, help create an example of what we should be doing with woodland, to produce fuel, materials to replace coal, oil and gas and grow our food locally.

Learn how to use hand tools: axes, scythes, billhooks etc to produce Hazel Coppice, basketry willow plantation, Hornbeam Pollards and Timber trees. To produce materials which are an alternative to plastic and composite materials which won’t naturally breakdown. Learn how to grow veg and fruit and set up carbon negative no dig horticulture on a field scale.
