Transition Rutland
Set up out of the recognition that challenges facing rural areas are best met with a positive vision for the future which emphasises resilience across economic, environmental and social strands. It combines two separate Transition initiatives: Transition Towns and Transition Farming.
Transition Rutland has been supported by Communities Cutting Carbon and Rutland County Council.
Activities
- The group's AGM took place on Saturday 23rd July 2011, and a new steering group for the coming year was elected. For details of future meetings and activities, contact the group by email.
