Bideford Sustainability Group (BSG)

Bideford Sustainability Group (BSG) We plant orchards, get together for 'Green Drinks', hold regular meetings and loads more - as we try and make Bideford a more sustainable place to live.

We work together to encourage people to grow, cook and preserve their own food, share skills, reduce waste, cope with rising energy and food prices, live lightly on the planet... We recognise that we need to adapt and find new ways (or rediscover old ones!) of sourcing our food and new ways of creating the energy we need. We've found this can also be a fantastic way of building our community and s

trengthening links between groups and individuals. We meet informally in the Blacksmith's Arms in East-the-Water on the first Tuesday of every month at 7.30 p.m. COME AND JOIN US! You can now also follow the group on Twitter
