Green Pledge Project update

The Green Pledge Project will release new podcast episodes every month – and you can listen to the first two NOW! Podcast | Gloucestershire Archives

Hear stories from local people talking about changes in the environment they’ve seen over their lifetime and what they do to tread more lightly on the planet.

We’ll look at records from the archives and reflect on what they tell us about now and the future. And you can listen to shortened versions of the oral history interviews we’re recording with people who’ve worked to protect nature in all sorts of ways, including farmers, environmental managers and campaigners.

Episode 1 – Introducing our busy project team, as well catching up with Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust volunteer, Sara Kinsey, as she works with Heather Forbes, sorting documents, including beautiful nature journals and notebooks from the 1930s. 

Episode 2 – join the team at the Greener Together event at the Two Rivers Converge Festival, Tewkesbury Abbey, Feb 2024. Under the enormous suspended model of Gaia, we talk to stall holders about their work and local people. All laced together with the beautiful Gaia soundtrack.  

Coming Up! Listen to our interview with John Meadley. In 2012 John was voted Environmental Hero by the Heart of Gloucestershire Community Awards. John talks about his early influences as well as his work on international and local projects.
