Environment Plymouth Green Recovery Plan

Environment Plymouth was established in 2017 to provide a strategic community voice for environmental and sustainability issues in Plymouth. An independent network, it now has approx 500 members and in turn interacts with approx 80 local groups. It has formally adopted Terms of Reference, a membership Code of Conduct and its own bank account. Managed by a Steering Group it operates in an open and transparent way.  An ward winning network, it leads on the Plastic Free Plymouth campaign and has recently secured an Interreg funded contract to deliver the community charter element of the Preventing Plastic Pollution Project. In 2020 members of the network worked together to create a Green Recovery Plan - an Action Plan listing a range of small activities they wished to see. This fund is intended to kick start the delivery of Plymouth Pots, using bee bombs to create new habitats for the city's insects, a Hoe your Own campaign to protect street plants (weeds), to support the network's 2021 meetings, take action on tree planting and ongoing maintenance and action on climate change.
