It's hard to describe the past autumn in a few sentences (and it's not over yet 😉 ). 💡 Key words: charity, busy, amazing, varied, exhausting, travelling the country, working in the sun and rain, meeting and working with fantastic people. This autumn we held charity team-building events for 8 companies and awarness-raising programme for 3; all in 32 days. 🤗 We helped 3 national parks, 4 children's homes, 2 environmental NGOs, 1 home for the elderly, 1 community centre, 1 community garden together with volunteers from companies. ⛏ We built bird boxes, raised flower beds, composting bins, stork nests, painted rooms, eliminated invasive species, renovated information boards, etc. I have had the opportunity to field visit, plan the events, lead programmes, give presentations, demonstrate awareness raising games and of course improvise when nothing went as planned. 🌺 Meanwhile, we have 2 menstruation programmes running which I manage, so I often found myself checking in to international meetings from the conservation area in my wellies. 😆 I'm very proud of our work and the team we've done it with. 💚 Zöldövezet Társulás Egyesület It is fantastic to benefit from these experiences. #environmentprotection #charity #charityteambuilding

As Earth Day approaches, it's time to reflect on our planet's beauty and our responsibility to protect it. We are doing our small part to positively impact the environment by pledging funds to Trees That Count a collective and inclusive mission to plant native trees across New Zealand. We’ve also setup a tree registry page on their website, with the aim of donating 2,000 trees (twice the number from 2023), in the lead up to IANZ’s annual conference this year, in August. So, if you’d like to join us in supporting this important cause, head on over to the page before the 21st of August, and give generously – all it costs is $10 to gift a tree and make a difference! Tree registry page: https://lnkd.in/g8q-MeF2 Whether you choose to donate funds, volunteer your time to environmental projects, or spread awareness about the invaluable work of charities such as Trees That Count, your support can make a tangible difference in the fight against environmental degradation. Let's come together this Earth Day and commit to the ongoing movement towards a greener, healthier, and more sustainable planet. #EarthDay #EnvironmentalProtection #Sustainability

The current debate about the Green Belt focuses more on its strict purposes, & less on what it could deliver for the environment & people. So how can we make our Green Belt better? In our briefing with CPRE The countryside charity, Open Spaces Society & more we set out the policies needed to boost Green Belt so it supports habitats from woodland to grasslands & gives communities access to natural spaces. https://lnkd.in/eJfve5-T
