Wirral Environment Champions

Do you know someone who makes a special effort to look after and improve their local environment? Or perhaps you are a dedicated volunteer yourself who works hard to keep your neighbourhood clean and green? If so, register your interest to join the Wirral Environment Champions scheme.

We are looking for people like you to help raise awareness of good environmental practice across Wirral. Anyone can be an Environment Champion; individuals and groups, living in, working in or visiting Wirral. The only requirement is an interest in protecting and improving Wirral’s environment.

As an Environment Champion you will be able to help raise awareness of issues such as waste minimisation, recycling, energy and water conservation, sustainable travel, conservation, and improving our Parks and Countryside.

There are many existing groups already helping to improve the environment, by working on our ‘Rights of Way’, carrying out litter-picks and ‘Big Tidy-Ups’, or following the transition town movement in order to provide a more sustainable local environment and reduce carbon emissions.

By bringing together Environment Champions and projects, we will gain a better understanding of the many diverse groups and individuals who, in one way or another, contribute to improving Wirral’s environment. Environment Champions will be able to share ideas with each other and work with the Council to create a better environment for everyone.

By creating a register of interested groups the Council is taking the next step in developing the existing informal partnerships, which exist between the Council’s service providers and community groups.

A small piece of your time is all that is needed. From time to time we may ask you to put up posters, volunteer to help or set up your own environmental projects, and attend or organise events in your own area – however much you are able to do, it will all help our environment!

What's in it for you?

Projects so far

What’s in it for you?

• Quarterly email newsletter updates

• Shared network of ideas and projects with other Environmental Champions

Through the organisation and newsletter we want to be able to report the great efforts being made across the borough. We will also be encouraging those organising events to use our electronic facilities to promote and advertise environmental events being run in their area.
