Vale Nature and Climate Action Fund Awards 15 Projects
What happened
The Vale of White Horse District Council announced the sixth round of its climate funding, awarding £100,000 to 15 nature and climate projects through the Vale Nature and Climate Action Fund. These schemes aim to cut carbon, boost biodiversity, and support sustainable living in the community. Among the recipients is the National Trust, which will lead a community woodland recovery scheme, and the 30th Abingdon Scouts, which will lead an equipment reuse scheme.
Why it matters
The funding supports local investment in green infrastructure, including the installation of solar panels and heat pumps at sites like Stonehill Barn. The projects demonstrate local efforts to transition toward renewable energy and improve environmental quality.
