Highlighting some of our recent environmental successes this World Earth Day:

🐝 Rare bees spotted at Barr Beacon nature reserve

💡 23,000 streetlights converted to low-energy LED lighting

🌲 Project to establish community orchards and micro woods across the borough

And it’s the lasting legacies of those industries that have created opportunities for green and open space that we all enjoy today in the Black Country

It’s the rocks beneath our feet provided by mother nature that powered industry and paved the way for the modern world.
