🌿 From Awareness to Action: Environment, Biodiversity & Nature Recovery
We were proud to be part of the team supporting the recent screening of The People’s Emergency Briefing in the parish.
A big thank you to everyone who helped organise and deliver the event from those working behind the scenes to the groups and individuals who contributed on the night. It was a real collaborative effort and a great example of the community coming together.
Around 50 people attended, coming together to watch the film and take part in a short discussion afterwards. The film brought together the latest evidence on the climate and nature crisis and, importantly, what it means for everyday life here in the UK.
What made the evening particularly powerful was connecting those national messages with what’s already happening locally. We heard from a number of groups including our own Local Nature Recovery Working Group, highlighting the positive action already underway and the real opportunity to build on this across our community.
Nature recovery isn’t just about big national strategies, it’s about local knowledge, local action and local people. We are incredibly fortunate to live in an area rich in natural assets, and the focus now is how we strengthen, connect and enhance these for the future.
🌿 Get involved
Our next Local Nature Recovery Working Group meeting will take place on 1st July 2026 (evening) exact time and venue to be confirmed. The group is open to anyone with an interest in the environment whether you’re part of a local organisation or simply want to get involved in shaping what happens locally.
This follows on from both the film screening and our own themed pre-event ahead of the Annual Parish Meeting, where a range of organisations including the National Trust, Severn Valley Country Park, Severn Trent’s Community Flood Team, Sustainable Bridgnorth and others came together in a “marketplace” setting to share the work already happening across the area.
These events are all part of a growing effort to turn awareness into practical, local action. If you’d like to be involved or find out more, we’d love to hear from you.
