CAG: Bishop's Castle Climate Action Group

26/01/2026

It's more important than ever to bring people together to learn, grow, share and skill up.

Inspired by .community.collective in Yorkshire, we're launching a 'Grow Club' at Little Woodbatch for 2026.

The need for building resilience in our food system goes hand in hand with building community: Action is the antidote to despair. Through local Action we can come together in practical ways and rethink how we can show up for each other, nature and Earth systems.

If you are local to Bishop's Castle & surrounding area and are interested in joining, please get in touch! Limited to 10 spaces.

Come see the Bishop’s Castle Community Seed Bank this Saturday from 9-1 at the Town Hall. We’ll have a range of seeds, and will be hosting a plant swap too!

How it works:
Borrow Seed
Grow it (eat some and let some continue to grow on to seed)
Save that seed, then
Share it back to the Seed Bank
The Seed Bank is free if you are local and can share back some of what you have grown and saved - The sustainability of the project relies on this cycle. A monetary donation if you are not able to share back.

The Bishop’s Castle Community Seed Bank is a community resource for local food resilience and skill sharing… Because every bite of food we take started as a seed.

The Aims of the Seed Bank are:
to build a community around sharing knowledge of seed saving, growing and seed sovereignty
to foster food security through inclusive access to open-pollinated seed
to support the species genetic diversity of seed stock outside of corporate ownership
to nurture our mutual connections by saving and sharing seed as an act of care for others
to build local resilience in the face of climate change, crisis, and food system shocks

The Seed Bank is an initiative of Food Forward BC, the Action Group driving our Community Food Resilience Strategy, a part of the BC Climate Action Plan.
