An environmental group is celebrating a great first year after planting 250 trees and making 200 bottles of apple juice.
Marnhull Green TEAMS – (Taking the Environment Around Marnhull Seriously) has been moving mountains, despite much of their first year being spent in lockdown. They have published a recycling booklet launched a community allotment and planted community fruit trees.
An organic gardening group has also been established. Marnhull Green TEAMS members have been meeting monthly – mostly by Zoom – and have heard some very interesting talks by invited speakers.
The fundraising was successful during the year too, and the group ended the year with more than £600 in the bank. The funds will allow the group to initiate more projects during 2021/22.
They plan to promote more apple pressing, tree planting and are organising an Eco Trail for Marnhull where villagers can showcase their own green projects – from PV panels and batteries to electric cars and wildlife meadows – at their homes.
