Cheshire community groups working for sustainability
The benefits of looking after the countryside on our doorstep are ever more relevant, and there are plenty of opportunities for you to get involved. At CPRE Cheshire we want to highlight the marvellous work of community groups doing good throughout our county.
Many towns in Cheshire now run their own eco-groups, below is a list of just some of the groups working towards sustainability. Let us know of any we’ve missed!
CPRE Cheshire
