Great Big Green Week in Wealden

The UK’s biggest celebration of climate action and nature protection is back from 7 to 15 June. Over a million people across the country, including right here in Wealden, will come together to take positive steps for friends and family, climate, and nature.

The theme of Great Big Green Week 2025 is ‘Let’s Swap Together for Good’. It is a call to action for everyone to make simple swaps that will collectively add up to substantial changes and contribute to making our communities better, greener, and healthier for the future.
