Green Pledge Project

Thanks to the National Lottery Heritage Fund, Gloucestershire Archives is running a two-year GREEN Pledge project to help record the county’s environmental legacy and drive forward climate action.

Global warming and the ecological crisis are the most pressing and universal concerns we face. Heritage holds the memory of people and communities, and Gloucestershire Archives is a treasure chest for anyone interested in environmental matters from medieval times to present day. The Green Pledge Project willl bring to light our past, to reflect on our present, and imagine what our future could be.

The project aims to encourage further environmental action by exploring climate change and involving people in green heritage activities. It comes under the Heritage Fund’s Dynamic Collections programme, which will see the county’s unique environmental archives opened-up and used for various events and activities involving the public.
