Environmental Forum - WHEN

WHEN works to improve the local environment.

What is WHEN?

WHEN (Welwyn Hatfield Environmental Network) is the environmental arm of the Alliance and is open to anyone who wants to get involved in addressing environmental issues in Welwyn Hatfield.

It mainly consists of voluntary groups and individuals who have a keen interest in environmental matters, working with statutory bodies such as the borough and county councils and the police.

What does WHEN do?

We act as an information exchange for all of the environmental groups within the borough, but it also focuses on practical work, not just talking about the issues.

When we consulted residents in the borough about environmental priorities, they told us they wanted:

• A less polluted environment
• Reduced littering
• Increased recycling
• Greater civic pride
• Protected open spaces and wildlife

We see part of our job is to come up with projects which can address those priorities.
 
Recently we have organised:

• Green and Organic Shows in Hatfield and Welwyn Garden City
• Woodland Management at Woodhall Park, Welwyn Garden City and Northaw Great Wood
• Improved recycling in Peartree Ward, Welwyn Garden City
• The 101 tips brochure to help you reduce your carbon footprint (click on the link to download a copy)

A list of forthcoming Environmental Events is attached (click on the link to download the list)

How to contact WHEN

WHEN meets on the second Thursday of each alternative month (January, March, May, July, September and November), usually in Welwyn Garden City. Meetings alternate between afternoons and evenings to allow maximum access.
