By transforming disused patches of land into thriving havens for wildlife, we're helping pollinators, insects and birds to find rest and shelter to survive, but also reclaiming natural spaces for human wellbeing, planting food and growing a community. Diane - Greening Bishopstoke

Our Greening Campaign volunteers across Hampshire are stopping the cycle of buy it, use it and bin it and focusing on reducing waste by adopting REDUCE, REPAIR AND REUSE - and are doing a brilliant job!

Our greening communities are making a massive difference across Hampshire. Greening Shedfield Parish have planted 1,000 trees!

Talking about heat loss in a heatwave! Our volunteers were out over the winter taking thermal images of 436 homes in their community to identify areas of heat loss. Insulation keeps the warmth inside during winter and the cool air inside during summer!

We love a tip from our communities that helps with preventing heat loss in our homes, and especially one that is cheap and effective! Here's some great advice from a local resident at a recent Home Energy advice event hosted by Greening Titchfield.
