Twist and Sprout Podcast EPISODE 2: How we grew a community farm Essential listening for community activists and new community growing schemes. Meet some of the Bosavern founders and hear how they got things started. https://lnkd.in/ep3qmy_P Did you know... In 2022, a vote was held among civic leaders in Cornwall and the pledge to ‘provide land and support for community growing schemes’ was deemed to be THE TOP PRIORITY call to action, yielding multiple strategic benefits for people and the planet, something which everyone in Cornwall (individuals, community groups, local authorities, businesses) could and should get behind. A full report from the University of Exeter Environmental Sustainability Institute details how community growing schemes can be effective in tackling some of the biggest challenges of our times, it is available from the Sustainable Food Cornwall Website together with a map showing the established community growing schemes and the smaller, new schemes sprouting up right across Cornwall. https://lnkd.in/ebwjU9qU Join the movement!

Reflecting on my journey with OzGREEN, I take immense pride in our Macro Muster program. It has been a highlight for me, particularly as one of the first programs I began coordinating at 18 years old. I’ve been fortunate to see this program grow into a meaningful initiative that not only connects people and protects our rivers but has also contributed significantly to my own professional development. Working on the muster has allowed me to refine my facilitation and design skills while also gaining valuable scientific insights from the talented team around me. In regional areas, access to educational and recreational activities can be limited. The Macro Muster is one of the ways OzGREEN is addressing this gap, fostering a love for nature and science. The program truly embodies OzGREEN's mission: working with young people to build sustainable and thriving regional communities. Our macro program was initially requested by scientists supporting the recovery of the critically endangered Bellinger River Snapping Turtle. As we approach Macro Muster 7, the program has been pivotal in connecting our community with the rivers and has recorded 29 sets of data across six sites in the Bellinger, Never Never, and Kalang Rivers. This October, Macro Muster 7 will see community members and scientists collaborate to count waterbugs across six sites. The event is in excellent hands with Lily Kostka taking on the coordination! If you’re in the Bellingen area, or even if you’re willing to travel, the Macro Muster is well worth attending! Additionally, we are seeking event sponsors for Macro Muster 7 and for the program as a whole! If you or anyone you know is part of an organisation that would like to support this crucial work, we’d love to hear from you. Sponsoring the Muster not only demonstrates a commitment to river conservation and community health but also plays a vital role in supporting regional areas. Your involvement can make a significant impact on protecting our environment and empowering local communities. Don’t miss this opportunity to make a difference!
