Carbon Volunteers

The Carbon Volunteers project has driven forward essential action for a bigger, better more joined up Carbon Landscape that puts volunteers at its forefront by upskilling, supporting, and enabling local action.

It has given local people a voice for their landscape, raising awareness of its importance within the wider community by celebrating its heritage, and developing a sense of pride and place.

Achievements:

•                 633 volunteers registered and benefiting from rewards and recognition package
•                 30 volunteers trained as Landscape Champions
•                 12 Landscape Champion workshops
•                 526 people inspired by Landscape Champions
•                 2 volunteer promotion campaigns
•                 500 ha of landscape enhanced as a direct result of volunteer activity 

We have achieved a wide range of landscape scale projects and we believe effective co-ordination of volunteer effort is crucial to the restoration of important habitats addressing areas where connectivity is its priority aim.
