TTW Groups
Apples
The Apple subgroup collects spare apples from gardens and orchards around Wellington and turns them into apple juice, which is sold locally.
Art
This group met monthly and tried different forms of art, such as painting, lino cuts, calligraphy and other similar activities. NB. This group is currently paused, as we look for a new leader.
Books
Bookworms meet regularly to discuss books in an information environment. Many will relate to ecology in its widest sense.
Food
The Food Group produces ideas and knowledge about growing your own food or where to forage and collect food items that are readily available and free. Part of their role is to develop and maintain the Fox’s Field Food Forest.
Oral History Project
Oral history is a method of gathering, preserving and interpreting the voices and memories of people and communities.
Recycle
As well as encouraging people to recycle, there is also the Wellington Repair Cafe, where people can take broken items to be repaired.
Renewables
This group was formed to provide experience and information on renewable energy sources.
Scything
This group was formed to scythe the various TTW sites. The members have been trained in scything.
Transport
All of us rely on transport at times. That may be by car, bus, train or plane, or of course by bicycle. This group seeks to raise awareness of transportation and it’s impact on the environment.
Trees
The trees group aims to encourage people to notice and appreciate the trees around the town. People are invited to nominate a tree that they particularly like. It is hoped that applications can then be made to protect some of the nominated trees.
Water
Patrolling the rivers and watercourses nearby is a way of identifying any pollution or rubbish. Water Guardians are wanted for this important activity and they can also test for water quality.
Wildlife
We seek to encourage biodiversity in face of the loss of wildlife in our towns. The group focuses on creating habitats for plants and animals.
