Who are we?

The Teme Valley Environment Group (TVEG) is based in and around Knighton, Powys. We are part of a growing grassroots movement exploring the major changes required for communities to adapt to a society without access to cheap energy derived from fossil fuels. Rather than a cause for depression, we feel this is an opportunity to make life better for all of us while enjoying ourselves at the same time.

We are an open group and welcome people of all ages and abilities who are concerned about local sustainability and the environment.

Our current concerns include local food production, renewable energy supply, transport, health and wellbeing, housing and livelihoods.

Please join us by contacting Penny Nicholson on info@tveg.org.uk and become part of a creative and inspiring movement. Or just turn up at one of our regular open meetings and we’ll be pleased to see you!

WOODLAND APPEAL

The harsh conditions we are experiencing this winter highlight the need for us all to pull together to provide an affordable sustainable heat source.

We recognise the local need to provide wood for fuel and other woodland products, whilst maintaining healthy vibrant woodlands for wildlife and ensuring biodiversity for future generations.

We have formed a not for profit company, Knighton Tree Allotment Trust to provide the woodlands our community needs for a sustainable future and are now looking for land and woodlands to buy, lease or manage, preferably within a 5 mile radius of Knighton, though we will consider further afield.

Please contact Angie if you have any land that might be suitable ……..
