About

Wigsley, Harby & Thorney Going Green was founded in 2020 in response to local interest in green issues. Climate change is the primary concern for many millions of people across the world today and that concern is shared by our community.

We are encouraged by the high interest our community has been showing in promoting sustainability and eco friendly living. We firmly believe that together we can take steps to reduce the impact we have on our natural environment and make sure that our children and their children will be able to enjoy our planet, too.

We work with representatives from the Newark and Sherwood District Council in order to bring you information and resources that are available to support our villages on our path to becoming greener.

WH&T Going Green Founding Members:

Clare Welfare, Thorney

I’ve watched the climate change over the last few years and have become increasingly concerned by the damage global warming is doing to our planet. I can’t change the world but would like help in a small way by changing my habits – reducing my waste, recycling products as much as possible and caring for my local environment.

Jayne Rose, Harby

Vice Chair of Harby Parish Council and Chair of Harby Thorney Wigsley Community Led Plan Monitoring Group

I believe that we can all make small changes to our habits to help the environment and hope that this group can inspire residents with practical ideas and information.

I am proud to support this inspiring initiative that aims to motivate individuals in our community to make small yet impactful changes in their lives, addressing the environmental challenges we face. By recognising the power of our collective actions, we can pave the way for a brighter, more sustainable future. Together, let’s embrace the opportunity to create positive change and inspire others to join us on this remarkable journey towards a greener world.

Linda Dales

I believe that if we all make simple, small changes to the way we live, those small changes will add up to us having made a big difference towards protecting our environment. Working together we can share our own learning as we ‘reduce, re-use and recycle’ and inspire others to do the same.

Offering ideas and support whilst learning a lot along the way. I’m hoping to help inspire everyone across the district to make small lifestyle changes which help with climate change and biodiversity loss.
