EN/2 What They Do: Common Ground is charity based in Dorset, which has been at the forefront of community conservation and environmental education in England for the last thirty years. They are not a think tank or political pressure group. They are a small, grassroots organisation that collaborate openly to reconnect people with nature and inspires communities to become responsible for their local environment [cultural landscape]. They believe that enjoying where you live and celebrating the connections people have with [place] the wildlife and landscape on their doorstep, is at the root of meaningful conservation. They want to build identity and pride in the particularity of places and support different communities in creating a quality of life which is more sensitive to nature, is more caring of the buildings and landscapes which express our continuing history, harbours our memories, and perpetuates knowledge of ordinary lives and local culture. With the right tools, people can uncover intimate attachments to places for themselves, developing the kind of enjoyment and resolve that strengthens community resilience and cohesion in uncertain times. ............... Common Ground was founded in 1983 by Sue Clifford, Angela King and the writer Roger Deakin, with the idea of Local Distinctiveness at its heart. Projects like Apple Day, New Milestones, Parish Maps, Tree Dressing and Community Woodlands have captured the imagination of hundreds of communities all over the country and continue to unearth very strong feelings of attachment and belonging, to local history, to language, nature, architecture, folklore, and to the landscape of places............CLICK HERE TO SEE MORE
