The Climate Clock
This is a timeline that no government is yet willing to commit to, but we must do what science and justice demand, not what elected officials or CEOs might deem convenient. Let’s #ActInTime.
Through Harmony Woods, our new and evolving community woodland, we will teach care for the environment and provide opportunities for volunteering, learning, training, enjoyment and enhanced well-being.
It is our long-term aim to offer a space that teaches the importance of and inspires a love of the natural world, and that encourages community cohesion through action.
As 10-year-old Emily said when we first began in 2011:
“Happy trees, happy planet, happy people!”

Harmony Woods is the result of a 10-year planting project 2012-2022, which gave all the children and young people in our community the chance to turn 12 acres of land into a natural urban woodland, increasing biodiversity and providing a wealth of opportunities for learning in and about the environment. Set within a total of 44 acres, there are ongoing opportunities for the whole community to be involved in the care of the wood and its development.
We are building an off-grid, sustainable, woodland classroom and volunteer base, one that is sensitive to its surroundings and sits well in the landscape.
Wildlife surveys and citizen science - help us discover what’s living in Harmony Woods.
