Environment
Living in a good quality environment is an essential element of a sustainable community. SECAD Partnership recognises that the environment is equal to economic and social development as an enabling factor in building resilient rural communities.
To work towards achieving this, SECAD through its initiative – Wild Work collaborates with communities, environment focused organisations and partners to initiate practical environmental actions and sustainable local development.
Wild Work – Learning to Treat Invasive Species
From our experience of working closely with local communities, we have established a project which deals with problematic species such as Japanese Knotweed (Fallopia spp.), Traveller’s Joy (Clematis vitalba), Cherry Laurel (Prunus laurocerasus) and Winter Heliotrope (Petasites fragrans).
