FRIENDS OF SHERFORD COUNTRY PARK ARE ‘LOCAL CLIMATE LEGENDS’
Residents across Plymouth have been nominating their local climate heroes, and the winners have been announced and celebrated. Friends of Sherford Country Park were nominated for their role in inspiring positive climate action within the community.
The independent panel of judges were really impressed with the work carried out by Friends of Sherford Country Park and presented a Highly Commended award as part of the Community Local Climate Legend Category.
The winners ranged from an eco-friendly school on a mission to change their school culture, a dedicated business finding innovative solutions, and youth, community and citizen legends who have been using their voice to empower others to make change. Over 70 nominations were submitted uncovering amazing stories and triumphs showing the breadth of work going on.
The winners were celebrated at The Big Green Trail on Saturday 21 June - and members of Friends of Sherford Country Park were invited to attend the event. Over 40 city organisations created things to do for all ages and abilities across the city, all with a distinctly eco-friendly, sustainability and climate-conscious feel.
