Tiny Forest Carbon Measuring
2022-09-17 10:30 - 12:00 | Tiny Forest at Monkton Park, 22 Station Hill, Chippenham, Wiltshire, SN15 3QF, United Kingdom
Tiny forest carbon measuring week (17-25 September 2022)
On Saturday 17th September 2022, we’re asking for volunteers to take park in Earthwatch Europe’s Tiny Forest carbon week by measuring and recording all silver numbered tagged trees at Monkton Park’s Tiny Forest.
Why take part?
Carbon Week has benefits both for you, and for science!
By taking part in citizen science, you become a vital part of our environmental research. We use science to better understand the environmental challenges we face, and to find solutions to these issues. In particular, the data you provide will allow us to calculate the carbon stored at your Tiny Forest so we can understand changes over time and location.
The health and wellbeing benefits of spending time in nature are well-documented. Taking part in a Tiny Forest citizen science survey is a great opportunity to spend some mindful time outside in your local area. It’s also a brilliant way to connect with your community and spend time with family and friends in the fresh air and green space.

Earth Care Choices Day
2022-09-17 10:30 - 15:00 | The Beacon Centre at Sheldon Road Methodist Church, Audley Road, Chippenham, Wiltshire, SN14 0DU, United Kingdom
A free event for everyone, Earth Care Choices Day at Sheldon Road Methodist Church is back following the postponement due to Covid!
We are very aware that there are many HUGE challenges in everyone’s lives at the moment, but we want this occasion to encourage all of us by celebrating all the options that many of us have already chosen to engage with climate change action.
The problem hasn’t gone away. Climate change in our world requires all of us to take some actions in our lifestyles: we don’t need a handful of people doing climate action perfectly, we need millions of people doing it imperfectly!
Come and be part of this celebration: an interactive display from local individuals, groups and organisations! Find out more about what is possible and share your own experiences and ideas!
Refreshments and a simple lunch served. Contact admin@sheldonroad.church for more information.
