Climate and sustainability

Sustainability in the community

A sustainable community resembles a living system in which human, natural and economic elements are interdependent and draw strength from each other.  

Tips to help schools and community groups make a difference:

• Planting trees can be very beneficial for the environment. The Woodland Trust provide free trees to schools and communities 

• The Wildlife Trust offers a variety of volunteer roles to help preserve local wildlife 

• Organise a litter pick or join one of the many local litter-picking groups across North Northamptonshire to help clean up our local community 

• Take a free climate change course - The Open University and Future Learn offer a variety of courses  

• Volunteer with Community Action Northants to help with local conservation and gardening activities  

• Create a community garden or grow a wild patch or ‘mini’ meadow   

• Join a “friends of” group to support local conversation efforts, for example, Friends of the River Nene  

• Visit or volunteer at one of our beautiful country parks to learn more about local biodiversity and wildlife
