COMMONground England
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 place, nature and inspires communities to become responsible for their local environment. 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 place, places and placedness for themselves, developing the kind of enjoyment and resolve that strengthens community resilience and cohesion in uncertain times.
