Funded by the Co-operative, this workshop is part of a region-wide initiative to help the growing number of volunteers and community groups taking action on climate change in the South West become more effective and achieve greater impact, by developing a long term system of mutual support both within each county and between counties. Similar workshops are being held in every county in the southwest, co-ordinated by the South West Wildlife Trusts.
