Climate and Nature
The Group was set up in 2022 following Rodington Parish Council’s declaration of a climate and nature emergency. The Group has been looking at what we can do locally to address the emergency.

Action on Climate and Nature
In late 2022 the parish council adopted its Climate and Nature Action Plan and published a plan glossary titled “A greener Rodington parish” which was shared with every household in the parish.
This plan, which is available to view here will be monitored by the parish council and the projects that have been identified in this plan shall be delivered through our Steering Group with the parish councils financial, governing and communications support.
We will actively encourage local people to get involved with action days such as bulb and tree planting, litter picks and other projects aimed at enhancing areas of our parish that support the protection of nature and tackle issues around climate change.
Through our Parish Plan, which was adopted in 2020, we will actively seek to support development that is on brownfield sites only, any development which seeks to prevent access to the natural world will not receive support.
