Sustainable Woodstock started in November 2008. We aim to raise public awareness among the residents of Woodstock and beyond on the issues of climate change, energy conservation, waste reduction, recycling, bio-diversity, sustainable economics and respect for the planet.
We are working in partnership with Oxfordshire County Council, West Oxfordshire District Council, local schools and churches, Blenheim Palace and the Farmers Market and the Woodstock trade association, Wake Up to Woodstock
There is widespread support for the group and they are always seeking more active members. We have already held a couple of successful Swap Shops and have secured a grant from Oxford County Council to work towards becoming a "Plastic Bag Free Town". We have had a couple of showings of the film "The Age of Stupid" with a public debate following. We have an affiliated network of supporters at the Woodstock Fair Trade Group and the town's ecumenical group "Churches Together". We have support from the town's primary and secondary schools and from the trade association Wake Up to Woodstock.
Members of the group join forces to help plant Woodstock Community Woodland
