Welcome to our October newsletter. The month holds the promise
of being busy, challenging and maybe uplifting, depending on our
individual plans. Locally, our Pollinator Project is making good
progress with our first area now planted. The Wood Group will be
swinging into action with further coppicing and woodland management
work, having recently banked a good supply of sustainable firewood
from last winter's efforts.
In the wider world, increasing numbers are taking part in direct
action to insist that governments take decisive action on climate
change. Politicians respond with encouraging words, but actions lag
behind. They need to be held to account based upon what the climate
scientists say is necessary, not against their own inadequate
targets which they are in any case failing to meet.
Keep going!
Best wishes to all, John Craythorne, Sustainable Crediton
