Health Education and Improvement Wales (HEIW) Green Group

The first steps involved raising awareness around the issue of climate change and the actions we can do to mitigate the effects through our professional and personal lives. One of the first projects delivered was to improve the biodiversity of the office environment,  with staff at HEIW getting involved in tree planting and gardening at the site. Bird boxes, and bug hotels were installed and areas of lawn that were previously mowed were left to grow into meadow area.

The group have also installed LED lighting in their offices, installed electric car charging points, promote, and practice recycling, and aim to sustainably procure resources.

This close-knit group have reported well-being benefits of being involved in the group including spending time in nature.
