A monthly group, Cottenham Climate Conversations, aims to provide a welcoming space for residents to come together and talk about the climate crisis — and what we can do about it.
We focus on different topics, providing practical information about climate change through talks and activities from local organisations. Recent topics have included a stimulating talk about Climate Change Gardening, how to encourage swifts to nest in the village and the many and varied publicly accessible green spaces in Cottenham and the work of Sustainable Cottenham’s Nature Recovery Group.
It’s also a space where people can share their thoughts and ideas. We hope to inspire individual and community action — whether it’s making eco-friendly lifestyle changes or finding support for local projects.
The group is free (donations welcome) and open to everyone of all ages – families welcome. It will be pausing over summer 2026 – look out for posters giving details of when it will restart.
This is a project set up by Cottenham Parish Council’s Climate and Ecological Emergency Working Group, in collaboration with Sustainable Cottenham and On The Edge Cottenham.
