Environmental Volunteering

Are you interested in joining together with others to make a positive contribution to all our communities and gaining some valuable experience?

Inter-Act believes that the state of the environment is something which not only effects every person equally, but also can be improved only when all people work together.

Inter-Act’s projects could cover a range of environmental areas, including:

tree-planting
cleaning or doing up public parks
building or restoring a community garden
campaigning and sharing best practice about:

recycling opportunities at places of worship
waste minimisation
the importance of organic and local produce

All faiths promote the preservation of the natural world. There currently exist projects promoting the environment in many communities across London. Inter-Act aims to bring these two together, giving young people the opportunity to make good on the elements of their religion which promote the environment.

Our 'Faith and the Environment' sheet highlights what our different faiths say about the environment

Upcoming events and projects:

Over the next few months we have a number of Interfaith Challenges where you can come along and help the environment in an inter-faith setting.

9th August 2009 Jenny Wood (Westbere Road) Nature Reserve NW2

A chance for you to get your hands dirty this summer! Come and help with planting, scrub bashing, pruning and step renovation at this beautiful community nature reserve. No experience is required and all abilities are welcome.

25th August 2009 Highgate Cemetery

This will be a whole day of action and preservation in Highgate Cemetery. An unusual place for interfaith activity, we will spend the day cutting ivy, clearing brambles, and chopping back overgrowth to preserve the cemetery for the future. This is a unique opportunity to explore one of London's most famous cemeteries. No experience is required and all abilities are welcome.

13th September Jenny Wood (Westbere Road) Nature Reserve NW2

Ever wondered what you can eat from the wilds of Kilburn?

Food from Nature is an exciting day at Jenny Wood nature reserve to learn about what you can pick and eat from the wild. You will be helping the warden to run this event and with other conservation tasks such as scrub bashing, planting & weeding . No experience is required and all abilities are welcome.

MORE INTERFAITH CHALLENGES WILL BE HAPPENING IN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS.
