Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

My Environmental Group are doing a fundraising for tools for our tree planting project - 25 trees in 25 farms in the Cornish Parish. Done 2 farms so far, should have another 10 lined up this winter.

The pictured ones are on the right side of the valley going up. The other ones mentioned are on the left side of the river.

This is fab @Chrisull. Maybe consider a call out for second hand tools with local charities that collects furniture from houses as well as connecting with a local charity that has tools to do a tool share? Also in my borough, my local council had collected a load of used tree protectors that we used.

We've already got a load of used protectors in my shed that I've been looking to use.

I went to one of the Cornwall grant drop ins today and they basically said our shopping list for ladders (we're planting on farm hedgerows specifically to replace the Ash in hedgerows that we will lose) and tree spades would be covered as environmental groups and projects with strong plans, dates and measurable outcomes are exactly what they are looking for. Said they will get back to me later this week!!! Very pleased.

What do you mean "connect to app"? For tariffs?

Think I did it in web, under tariffs? :-) G

I'm (not very actively) a member of the Yorkshire rewilding network and Sustainable Swaledale and there's a surprisingly large amount of stuff going on. The Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust seem to be getting quite a lot done on a relatively small budget too.

Got something to say?

Hi
I've seen environment (whether emissions, power, climate change, access to countryside, whatever you think of as "environment") discussed in various threads: Politics (obviously), the Electric Car thread fetcheveryone.com/forum/electric-car-anyone-61481/ , run free's excellent "Competitive Running and Keeping The Environment Clean" fetcheveryone.com/forum/running-competitively-keeping-our-environment-clean-60907/ my own Greta Thunberg thread fetcheveryone.com/forum/greta-thunberg---jfk-for-the-climate-generation-61044/ etc. but I haven't seen a general one.

So here it is. For those interested in the science, the politics, the action for (and I'll state that for me, this is mostly pro-environment, anti-emissions, anti-pollution etc.) and the hope for the future of our planet.
