We welcome any West Berkshire group or individual who wants to connect with others working towards stabilising climate and nature. Our local network includes people with expertise in: 

• Nature conservation
• Affordable and energy-efficient home improvements
• Single-use plastic reduction
• Mediterranean (naturally low-carbon and healthy) cooking
• Reducing food waste at home and in industry
• Estimating and reducing carbon footprints
• Electric Vehicle facts and myths
• Switching to banks and pensions that don’t invest in fossil fuels
• Campaigning (eg the UK’s Climate and Nature Bill, the​ Fossil Fuel Non-proliferation Treaty, and the Climate Income)

We help each other stay up to date with the latest climate and nature news through our WhatsApp group network, our occasional email newsletters, our 'Climate and Nature' Stand, and presentations to local groups.

We share information from West Berkshire Council, including from the Town and Parish Climate Forum, and the Environment Advisory Group Open Forum. Please consider subscribing to their Environment Newsletter and visiting their online Green Hub.

There is no charge for membership but please sign up here. Or email [email protected] to find out more.
