“Think global”

Tuesday 1st – Saturday 6th April National Community Gardens Week

National Community Garden Week celebrates schools and community gardens up and down the country. Gardens can significantly aid in combating biodiversity loss by creating diverse habitats, supporting pollinators, and promoting sustainable practices like composting and native plant cultivation. Community gardens are areas of land gardened or cultivated by a group of people for the benefit of the local community. As well as helping the environment they are a great way to promote healing and happiness as they can have a positive effect on our sense of well-being.

What can I do now?

We have a great local community garden at Yatton House, Great Ayton (see below) where you can volunteer and learn gardening skills alongside others or simply enjoy relaxing in a growing environment. Our bus stop community garden in Stokesley is cultivated by our Food Group volunteers where you can pick free fresh fruit and vegetables in season. Also have a look at the Secret Garden in Northallerton where you can find peace and reflection as well as volunteer with like minded people.

Wednesday 2nd April 18.00 People Planet Pint: Sustainability Meetup, The Potting Shed, Northallerton

People, Planet, Pint is a national project organised by  Small99 People, Planet, Pint which empowers local communities to organise gatherings of people who are interested in the environment and sustainability to find out what’s going on locally with sustainability, share ideas, network and get involved with a free pint thrown in! (Non alcoholic drinks also provided). Our most local gathering is based in Northallerton at the Potting Shed and happens monthly, this month on Wednesday 2nd April 18.00. Book a place via Eventbrite at eventbrite.co.uk/e/northallerton-small99s-people-planet-pinttm-sustainability-meetup-tickets-1113080205859

Friday 4th April National Walk to Work Day celebrating active travel

Walk to Work Day, organised by Active Together  is a chance to change up your routine and see how a start to the day that incorporates a brisk walk can lead to a more efficient life overall whilst reducing your dependency on cars. Not driving a car back and forth to work is one small way that you can reduce your carbon footprint. In this age of growing awareness about how being sedentary affects a person’s health, walking to work can make a huge difference in people’s lives, and their lifespans.

What can I do now?

If the whole distance is too far to walk, try to walk at least some of the way. Use the Choose How You Move website choosehowyoumove.co.uk/ to help you find more sustainable ways to commute.

Frack Free Coastal Communities need your support; deadline April 17th

Europa Oil & Gas have now submitted their plans to North Yorkshire Council to drill for gas within metres of homes in Burniston near Scarborough, North Yorkshire. Europa wants to use hydraulic fracturing (“fracking”) despite calling it “proppant squeeze”. (Proppant is the name for the material that is injected during fracking along with water and chemicals under pressure).

Frack Free Coastal Communities are concerned about the impact on the local community in addition to the wider impact of extracting and using more fossil fuels. They assert that there will be little local benefit even in terms of employment as fracking operations usually bring in workers from elsewhere. Furthermore they assert that the UK does not need this gas, and this extraction won’t reduce energy bills. Planned production represents only 1% of our national gas consumption (which is falling year on year anyway) and is likely to be sold on the international market for export.

What can I do now?

Frack Free Coastal Communities is calling on as many people as possible to object to these plans and the deadline to object is 17th April. If you would like to support them you can object via email, letter or by the planning portal more information here:

frackfreecoastalcommunities.co.uk/

Saturday 22nd April International Earth Day – our power, our planet

Earth Day, celebrated annually on April 22nd now for 55 years, is a global event that aims to raise awareness and encourage action to protect the environment and our planet. The theme for Earth Day 2025 is OUR POWER, OUR PLANET, inviting everyone around the globe to unite behind renewable energy, and to triple the global generation of clean electricity by 2030.

What can I do now?

Join in with Earth Action Day, encouraging all to take action—educate, advocate, and mobilize. Pledge an Earth Action on social media. Other ideas here: earth-day-2025

25th April – 1st May National Big Rivers Watch citizen science survey

Our rivers are far from healthy. They’re polluted with sewage, plastic, chemicals and nutrients, and just 15% of river stretches in England are in good overall health.

To address this, twice a year the Rivers Trust run a Big River Watch, and the next one takes place from 25th April to 1st May. These are week-long citizen science surveys in which everyone can take part in a simple activity that helps build a picture of river health across the UK and Ireland.

If you’d like to collect even more information about your river, you can also sign up to the Great UK WaterBlitz, and test the water for phosphates and nitrates after you’ve completed a Big River Watch survey.

What can I do now?

To support the restoration of our waterways, more information about how they’re doing needs to be gathered. You can help identify and locate the issues. With the Big River Watch app, you can help identify the issues, and will contribute to a national data set that will help build a picture of river health. More info here: take-action/the-big-river-watch

1st – 31st May National No Mow May to boost biodiversity

We’ve lost approximately 97% of flower-rich meadows since the 1930’s and with them gone are vital food needed by pollinators, like bees and butterflies. But your lawn and outside verges can help! A healthy lawn with some long grass and wildflowers benefits wildlife, tackles pollution and can even lock away carbon below ground. With over 20 million gardens in the UK, even the smallest grassy patches add up to a significant proportion of our land which, if managed properly, can deliver enormous gains for nature, communities and the climate.

What can I do now?

No Mow May is the perfect starting point to get your greenspace on track for a wild summer. You’ve taken the first step – now learn more about how to manage your wild lawn all year round!

How your choice of chocolate this Easter could protect or destroy rainforests

Global demand for chocolate is soaring, particularly at this time of year but chocolate production can have significant environmental impacts, including deforestation, carbon emissions and water usage stemming from cocoa farming, processing, and transportation.  

What can I do now?

Organisations like Rainforest Alliance are working to minimise this impact and The Ethical Consumer has published a guide to help you make informed choices to protect rainforests and workers conditions.

“Act Local”

This month’s local activities and ideas from our focus groups (Nature, Food, Waste, Energy, Transport) to address biodiversity loss and fight climate breakdown

Tuesday 15th April 19.30 Talk on ‘Revitalising the River Tees; the return of oysters & seagrass’ by Tees River Trust ecologists followed by whole group meeting, the Globe Community Library, Stokesley

Many of the UK’s estuaries have experienced high levels of pollution and habitat loss over the last 100 years leading to localised extinctions of many species. The River Tees is no exception with 90% or intertidal habitat lost to land reclamation, and the river being declared ecologically dead in the 1970s. The Tees used to be home to both oysters and seagrass, but populations of both have dropped drastically around the UK in the last 50 years and have become extinct in the Tees.

On Tuesday 15th April, starting at 19:30 in The Globe Community Library, North Road, Stokesley the team at the Tees Rivers Trust will give a talk on their current work to bring these species back, exploring their biology, the reasons for their decline, methods and challenge behind restoration and the benefits that these species can provide.

The talk will be followed by our whole group meeting which will include updates from our subgroups with a look ahead to plans for the Great Big Green Week in June.

Tuesday 1st April 10.00 – 12.00 & 13.00 – 15.00 Yatton House Community Garden Working Party

Help is needed in the Yatton House Community Garden, during Community Gardens Week, on Tuesday 1st April, between 10:00 – 12:00 and 1:00 – 3:00pm. We will be putting in stepping stones, siting a hedgehog box and wildlife camera, sowing seeds and planting out cowslip plants plus some other tasks if time. There are already some bat boxes put up. The ideas were suggested by the children of Marwood C of E Infant School and funded by a donation from Cleveland Mountain Rescue’s Santa Sleigh Ride.

All welcome to come and help or just enjoy looking round.

Meet at the car park at Yatton House, Guisborough Road, Great Ayton

Friday 4th April 9.00 – 13.00 Dandelion Stall at Stokesley market celebrating wildflowers

It’s national Dandelion Day on April 5th so to celebrate the Nature Group are holding a Dandelion Stall at Stokesley market on Friday 4th April. Sadly sometimes dismissed as an unwanted ‘weed’, dandelions are not only vibrantly beautiful but actually essential for our pollinators in early spring when there are limited food sources. Dandelions also are delicious from petals to roots and the stall will have leaflets of dandelion recipes and samples of edible dandelion treats as well as displays on their environmental importance. At our Dandelion Day stall will be a display of native wildflowers you can cultivate and in your own gardens to encourage biodiversity and feed pollinators.  

What can I do now?

Come along to the stall and pick up information. You can also decorate and take away your own wooden ‘Blue Heart’ to add to your garden or outside verge to let people know you are leaving some areas wild to feed pollinators. More info bluecampaignhub.com/

We look forward to seeing you there!

Saturday 12th April 10.00-12.00 3rd Birthday Repair Cafe at the Globe Community Library, Stokesley with a focus on Circularity Living

Our Repair Cafe celebrates its 3rd birthday this month! Since we started our incredible volunteers have fixed over 1800 items, saving their owners money and allowing them to carry on using their cherished items for longer as well as saving waste from landfill or incineration and so reducing carbon emissions.

Our pre Easter Repair Cafe includes ETHICAL CHOCOLATE TREATS to refresh you whilst our volunteer repairers meet your fixing needs. Bring along your treasured household items in need of repair on Saturday 12th April 10-12 at the Globe Community Library. Our pink T-shirted volunteers will endeavour to fix your items, saving you the cost of buying new and protecting the climate and the earth’s natural resources by reducing waste going to landfill or incineration and reducing the need to manufacture new.

Household items for repair can include: clothing & textiles, electrical appliances, wooden furniture, toys & bikes, laptops & mobile phones.

Please note we will be unable to sharpen any blades as our hard working blade sharpener will not be present this month.

Alongside the repairing we will have information on CIRCULARITY LIVING (see Waste group notes below) and a FREE SUSTAINABLE BOOK & MAGAZINE GIVEAWAY where you can bring along any books and magazines on sustainable living – plant based cookery, gardening, mending – you are not using and / or pick up new ones you’d like. There will also be a display on CIRCULARITY LIVING and news of our forth coming GIVE OR TAKE EVENT.

On average, we manage to fix 70% of items, give advice on possible repair steps for 20% and how best to recycle the 10% that are sadly beyond repair (statistics). But 100% of attendees are offered free refreshments of tea, coffee or juice as well as cakes and biscuits and a great opportunity to chat with friendly, like minded people and learn new repair skills.

This month’s free refreshments include Fair Trade beverages and home made sweet treats (including vegan!) made with Fair Trade ingredients, kindly donated by Stokesley Co-op.

What can I do now?

Come along with your item to be repaired and become an important part of the circularity movement; also bring along any unwanted books and magazines and / or picking up some new ones! New repair and reception volunteers always welcome – come along, have a cuppa and a chat or email Simon Gibbon.

Great Ayton Station Butterfly Conservation Wild Space

If you are catching the train from Great Ayton Station or walking past, then spend a few minutes at one of the picnic tables in the Great Ayton Station Butterfly Conservation Wild Space. Let us know if you spot any butterflies or moths. Funds from the Bug Trail, that CASaV manages, paid for the sign and we will also be helping manage a grant from Northern, for new planters with plants for pollinators on the station platform, as the Friends of Great Ayton Station group don’t have a bank account.

Following the results of Butterfly Conservation’s Big Butterfly Count 2024, the Butterfly Conservation Trust “declared a butterfly emergency. Time is running out: 80% of butterfly species have declined since the 1970s. Climate change and biodiversity loss are pushing much of the natural world to the brink.

At the heart of the Butterfly Conservation 2021-2026 strategy are three goals:

Halve the number of the UK’s threatened species of butterflies and moths

Improve the condition of 100 of the most important landscapes for butterflies and moths

Transform 100,000 Wild Spaces in the UK for people, butterflies and moths”

What can I do now?

Butterfly Conservation is asking for everyone’s help in creating more Wild Spaces where butterflies and moths can thrive. “You don’t need a garden to make more room for nature. Whether you live in a flat with a balcony or a house with a patio, you can help make a difference. Every Wild Space should be free of pesticides, and if you are using compost it should be peat free. Finally, we want to encourage each Wild Space to be permanent.”

Report from the North Yorkshire Climate Coalition ‘Inspiring Community Action’ Day

The North Yorkshire Climate Coalition invited our group to take part in an ‘Inspiring Community Climate Action’ day in Harrogate, hosted by Zero Carbon Harrogate and facilitated by North Yorkshire Council. We provided a ‘marketstall’ with a specific focus of interest to approximately 70 attendees from over 20 climate and environment action groups across North Yorkshire. We focused on ‘Communications: spreading the climate action message’ and gave presentations to timetabled groups about how we use a range of methods and approaches to spread the word about action on climate change and biodiversity breakdown which was well received. We also took part in a number of workshops and presentations as well as networking with the other brilliant groups across the county, sharing ideas and being inspired by their work – Ryedale Environment Group are restoring the wildflowers in verges working with North Yorkshire Council, Action on Climate Emergency Settle are setting up the Settle Energy Local Club to give the community energy, Fossil Free North Yorkshire are working to get fossil fuels out of the NY pension fund.  

Ideas & news from the groups

1. Waste / Circularity (including Repair Cafe)

This subgroup focuses on reducing waste through circularity: rethinking & reducing consumption; and  repairing, repurposing and recycling materials that might otherwise go to landfill or incineration.

Please join us at this month’s meeting: Tuesday 8th April 7.00pm by zoom – contact email Simon Gibbon for a link

1. Circularity – what and why?

Circularity, in terms of sustainability, aims to minimise waste and maximise resources by keeping products and materials in use through practices like reusing, repairing, repurposing, and at the last resort, recycling. The benefits of this are that it can help tackle climate change, biodiversity loss, waste, and pollution as well as saving us money and saving the earth’s limited resources for future generations.

At this month’s Repair Cafe there will be a display / information on Circularity Living and an opportunity to reuse books and magazines on sustainable themes such as plant based cookery, gardening & growing your own and mending or repurposing your household items.

2. Household items circularity: Give or Take Event in July

Most of us have cupboards, under beds and garages full of household ‘stuff’ – kitchen equipment, bedding & other household textiles, books & magazines, ornaments, DVDs, CDs, toys, hobby equipment – that we never use and / or have duplicates of (just how many saucepans do you really use / need?).

At the same time there are many in the local community who need these household items but cannot afford them, particularly in this cost of living crisis as bills continue to rise

‘Give or Take’ events – where people who have unused surplus household items have a good clear out and people who need household items pick up things they need for free – have been running across the country for a while with some excellent ones running regularly in nearby Ryedale.

Waste / Circularity group members are planning a GIVE OR TAKE EVENT in July based in Stokesley (venue to be confirmed) for the local community to give a new life to their surplus, unused but usable household items and for others who can make good use of them. Any items left over will be offered to local charities and community groups or collected and recycled by North Yorkshire Council.

What can I do now?

We need volunteers to help plan and run the event (meeting soon) so if you can help or have household goods you want to repurpose please contact giveandtake@casav.uk

3. Clothing circularity: New to You Clothes Swap Event – equipment & volunteers & participants needed

The climate impact of clothing is significant, with the fashion industry considered one of the most polluting industries globally, contributing heavily to greenhouse gas emissions through its production processes, material sourcing, and waste generation, primarily due to the high water usage, energy consumption in manufacturing, and reliance on synthetic materials like polyester which are derived from fossil fuels.

Not only this, but “fast fashion” encourages frequent clothing purchases and quick disposal whilst garment workers are often exploited with low pay, unsafe working conditions, and long hours. Fast fashion’s affordability and new trends can make consumers value clothing less so instead of taking care of our clothing and repairing any damage to extend the life of our clothing we end up buying more and more that will sit in our wardrobes and never see the light of day.  

What can I do now?

– Support sustainable and ethical fashion brands and choose high-quality clothing that lasts longer.

– Recycle or repurpose clothing when it’s no longer needed.

Most of us have far more clothing stuffed in our wardrobes that we no longer wear or in some cases have never worn after an impulse buy.

Jane and Jo, Repair Cafe textiles specialists, are hoping to address this locally and are currently planning a new to you good quality clothing swap event on 27th September to coincide with Sustainable Fashion Week (27th September to 5th October) where our local community can have a wardrobe refresh by exchanging the clothes they no longer wear for ‘new to you’ clothes they would like to wear.

If you have any spare clothes rails or would like to volunteer to help or would like more information to participate please contact clothesswap@casav.uk

4. Waste group events in March: Repair Cafe at Swainby

March’s Repair Cafe at Swainby Village Hall was very well attended and EXCEEDED OUR RECORDS WITH 93 ITEMS in need of repair dealt with by our ever ready pink T-shirted volunteer repairing heroes and the majority were fixed to the delight and gratitude of their owners who were warmed up with cosy beverages and tasty treats served by our refreshment volunteers.

In addition, to mark the start of the growing season, we had a separate information room with a display board and leaflets on sowing and growing, resources on compost making from the North Yorkshire Rotters, a gardening book giveaway and a seed swap including some glorious Jerusalem artichoke tubers!

Volunteers in the information room were on hand to discuss all things gardening, nature and climate change and new members to the group were signed up.

2. Nature Group

This subgroup focuses on discovering more about and supporting biodiversity and our living environment. Please join us at our next face to face meeting: Thursday 17th April 15.30, Globe Community Library, Stokesley Contact Bridget for information

Environment / Biodiversity News and Actions

1. What to see and do locally in nature this month

For ideas on things to do in nature this month have a look at Natures Calendar from the North York Moors National Park.  https://www.northyorkmoors.org.uk/things-to-do/nature-and-wildlife/nature-calendar/april

What can I do now?

The more we connect with nature, the more motivated we are to protect it. Don’t forget to visit the natural exuberance of daffodils in Farndale. There are also some great displays in Rosedale.

2. Land Use Consultation

DEFRA is currently holding a consultation, ending on April 25th on a vision for land use in England and how to deliver it. This consultation will inform the development of a Land Use Framework.

What can I do now?

Make your voice count! The consultation is available on line but can be submitted by post if so desired. There are 24 questions and there is no need to answer all at once as it can be saved. It is probably worth looking at the accompanying analytical annex and other supporting documents.

land-use-framework/land-use-consultation/

3. Heather burning: Community Earth Project

The Community Earth Project (CEP) based in the Esk Valley on the North York Moors is trying to collect data across the North York Moors for particulate matter (PM) levels during heather burning events. PMs are known carcinogens as are associated chemicals in smoke from burning organic matter. CEP is installing  sensors which will contribute to the sensor.community database of global air quality measurement and hopefully will be used to increase awareness of the health issues caused by moor burning. You can see the local measurements here.

At January’s whole group meeting Mike Ford from CEP updated the group on the project’s progress. Data from sensors across the North York Moors is now being submitted which will be analysed. Mike noted that he is now talking with local MPs and raising awareness of the issue more widely.

What can I do now?

CEP is still looking for people who would be prepared to ‘host’ a PM sensor to monitor this year’s burning season. For more information contact cep.nature.recovery@gmail.com

3. Food Group

This subgroup focuses on food & its impact on climate change – from growing your own and eating seasonally to reducing food going to waste. Meetings held bimonthly on zoom, next meeting in May, see next month’s newsletter for date, contact Wendy for a link to join

1. Concerning news from the Food, Farming and Countryside commission

A new report called Paying the Price is an in depth analysis from the Food, Farming and Countryside Commission which reveals that the UK’s long-term food security is at risk from a dysfunctional food economy that’s failing the public and farmers.

You can read the report here: risking-uks-future-for-cheap-unhealthy-food

2. What is regenerative farming?

If you feel uncertain about the difference between Organic farming, Sustainable farming and Regenerative farming then you may find this article helpful. It includes this great quote –

“It may be that one of our biggest levers for trying to combat the modern public health epidemic of chronic diseases is to rethink our diet, and not just what we eat, but how we grow it”. Professor David Montgomery of the University of Washington

Read the article here:

what-is-regenerative-farming

3. Growing Your own: April Tips of the Month

What are the benefits of growing your own?

Environmental benefits: You can avoid pesticides and herbicides, which pollute the air and water, you can practice water conservation, you reduce food miles, you help pollinators by providing food for them.

Health benefits: you can eat more fruits and vegetables, and include them in healthy meals, homegrown vegetables are more nutritious and taste better because they are free of artificial additives.

Economic benefits: you can save money on food by growing your own vegetables and be more self-sufficient in case of food shortages or price increases.

What can I do now?

Sow outdoor varieties of tomatoes, chillies and courgettes in pots, so they’re ready to plant out in late May or June. Sow small batches of rocket and other easy salad leaves.

Sow flowering companions in the veg plot, such as pot marigolds and borage. Continue planting batches of garlic, shallots and onions every few weeks to extend the cropping period

Sow herbs such as parsley, coriander, dill and chamomile in a sunny bed or container

Sow fast-growing crops, such as radishes, to make the most of any temporary gaps

4. Seeds! Seeds! Seeds!

Inspired? You can try growing new plants for FREE by calling into The Globe Community Library in Stokesley or the Discovery Centre in Great Ayton and pick up seeds from our seed share points. Donations of spare seeds welcome.

5. Foodshare: surplus food prevented from going to waste and helping those in need

Foodshare is a joint initiative by the Food and Waste groups and is organised by Jenny. EVERY evening at 9pm a Volunteer collects surplus food from the Ayton Coop and Premier supermarket and both Stokesley Coops and takes it to various distribution centres (often in Middlesbrough) such as Nitelight (for homeless) for use/distribution amongst those in need. This is fresh food such as fruit, veg and bread, NOT the tins and dried food that are needed by Food Banks.

Foodshare collects 40 – 60 kilos of food each day with a value of approx £250. This is £78,000 worth in a year!

What can I do now?

Jenny is always keen to recruit more volunteers to support the foodshare so if you feel this is something with which you could help, please contact Jenny here Jenny Earle.

6. April Seasonal Eating

Eating food in season (local as far as possible) can have substantial positive impact on climate breakdown by reducing high-energy input from artificial heating or lighting needed to produce crops out of the natural growing season.

Seasonal eating

How to eat seasonally

Fruit and vegetables in season in April

April is all about spring vegetables—asparagus and artichokes, snap peas begin to make an appearance, as well as young carrots with their fern-like carrot tops, and fava beans. Spring garlic, spring onions, leeks and fennel are thriving, as are the first spring radishes. Winter citrus is fading, and while we are seeing some early strawberries, the “fruit” of April isn’t really a fruit, but a vegetable that acts like one—rhubarb.

4. Ideas from the groups: Environment & Climate Osmotherley (ECO) Group

Environment Climate Osmotherley (ECO) meets regularly and holds events which raise awareness and address local environmental issues such as becoming a Dark Skies Village and increasing local biodiversity. Contact Rebecca for more information
