SUMMARY:Cullompton Green Group Launch Event
DESCRIPTION:Residents across Cullompton are being invited to help shape a greener future for the town as the new Cullompton Green Group launches next month. The group is being set up by Carla Crofts\, Community Builder for Involve Mid Devon charity\, and has been made possible thanks to funding from the National Lottery Community Fund. The funding will help bring local people together to take positive action for the environment and create projects that benefit the wider community. \nCullompton Green Group hopes to bring people together to share ideas\, make local changes and create practical activities that help both the environment and local residents. The group is open to anyone\, whether you are passionate about environmental issues or simply interested in getting involved in something positive within the community. \nThe launch event will be a chance to find out more about the project\, meet the team and help shape what the group becomes. Some early ideas already being discussed include preloved prom events\, clothes swaps\, seed swaps and surplus food cafés. The aim is to create activities that help people save money\, reduce waste and support a greener Cullompton. However\, the group is very much community led and local people are being encouraged to share their own ideas about the kinds of activities and projects they would like to see. \nPeople attending the launch event will have the chance to speak to the team\, learn more about the plans for the group and share their ideas. Involve Mid Devon’s Volunteer Coordinator will also be there so anyone interested in volunteering can find out more and sign up to get involved. Refreshments will be available and people are welcome to drop in at any point during the session. \nCarla Crofts said: “We’re really excited to launch Cullompton Green Group and bring together people who care about the future of our environment and community. Thanks to National Lottery funding\, we can create opportunities for local people to connect\, share ideas and turn those ideas into practical action. We really want this group to be shaped by the community\, so whether you have ideas\, want to volunteer or just want to come along and find out more\, we’d love to see you there.” \nLaunch Event Details Location: The Walronds\, Fore Street\, Cullompton\, EX15 1JL \nDate: Wednesday 1st July \nTime: 6.30pm to 8.30pm – People are welcome to drop in at any time during the session. No specialist knowledge or experience is needed\, just an interest in making a positive difference locally. \nFor more information\, please contact: Carla Crofts Community Builder\, Involve Mid Devon Cullomptoncb@involve-middevon.org.uk 07902 744810

SUMMARY:If Trees Could Talk: The Future of the Forests
DESCRIPTION:Stories have framed how we see forests for millennia. Are our modern myths\, coloured now by political interests and the commercial interests of both industry and NGOs the right stories for a changing\, challenging and unknowable future? \nSir Harry Studholme manages the Perridge Forest near Exeter. The forest was the joint winner in the All-England Woodland Resilience Awards 2021 and won the Duke of Cornwall Gold Medal for Resilient Multi-Purpose Forestry in 2025. The forest has been managed for centuries and has been a microcosm of Devon forestry\, ebbing and flowing with the comparative profitability of agriculture and timber markets. Currently the woods are managed on a continuous cover\, close to nature\, basis sustainably producing more than 2\,000 cubic meters of timber a year\, while the farmland that lies around it and runs through it is largely organic and managed regeneratively. Harry was previously the chair of the South West Regional Development Agency\, the GB Forestry Commission and the FTSE listed Phaunos Timber Fund. Harry is an Honorary Professor at the University of Exeter and the chair of Adapt Biogas. \nHarry Barton is currently Chief Executive of EarthWatch Europe\, a trustee of the charity Rewilding Britain\, and chair of the Dartmoor Nature Alliance. He was previously Chief Executive of Devon Wildlife Trust and Earth Trust. He has held senior roles in Wiltshire Wildlife Trust and CPRE. He led a multi-partner project mapping opportunities for nature restoration at scale across the South West of England. He has worked closely with partners at the University of Exeter\, University of Plymouth\, the Met Office and elsewhere. In the 1990s Harry worked at Kew Gardens\, where he was closely involved with a wide range of botanical projects\, including the Millennium Seed Bank. \nThis is one of five talks in June and July at Ashburton Arts Centre which form part of If Trees Could Talk Devon 2026 International Art Biennale in conjunction with Significant Seams here in Devon\, and the Tuvmboa-Tunmba Children’s Museum of Philippine Art\, Batangas\, Philippines.\nSee iftreescouldtalk.art and significantseams.org.uk \nAll five events are listed at wegottickets.com/IfTreesCouldTalk2026 \nAshburton Arts Centre\nAlways three prices – please pay what you can.
