Rachel spent her childhood in Corfe, but after years living away, she knew she needed to get back to Purbeck. Its open space, countryside and sea make her feel part of not just a community, but of a place. It’s massive, she says, in terms of how important it is to her. Nature gives her a solid sense of belonging. Every moment outside is a chance to watch, observe and become more attentive. She never feels separate from the landscape but connected to it. Caring for the world around her is the same as looking after herself, her family, and her friends.

🐝 #worthplanetaction are looking for volunteers to help prepare their '#beebank'.
🍯You would help cut an area of long grass and prepare their 'Bee Bank' for additional planting and seeding to provide plenty of pollen and nectar for bees and other insects!
📆Friday 28th January - 10am to 12pm at St Nicholas Churchyard.

👀📣 Add your voice to Dorset Council's Air Quality Action Plan (AQAP) before it closes on 23rd January 2022!
🔎The plan outlines how Dorset Council will tackle air quality issues across our area and how they'll work with regional and central government on policies and issues beyond Dorset Council’s direct influence.

💚By taking this more strategic approach, air quality and the associated health outcomes should improve across Dorset!
