Enviroschools funding
You don’t run into a forest for 30 years and expect to come out in 2. There is a good amount of activity around the country looking for ways to reconnect the skills of a previous generation with those who have lost those skills, and who now find themselves in need. Cooking, gardening, preserving, bottling and more. One of the programmes that offers so much hope is enviroschools. It is not just about environmental care. It is about health, quality of life, and resilience. Teaching young people the skills that feed my grandparents through hard times is such a valuable contribution to our future.
The funding is being cut.
If this funding is cut, can we continue such a good program? Is one running in your local school? Do you have gardening skills and an afternoon a week? Is there a way that allows the local parish and the local school to work together on this? If there are people in your Parish who have time (just retired perhaps) maybe they could pop along to the local primary and have a chat with the headmaster. I’d love to hear the results.
