Thermal Imaging 2017

Another successful Thermal Imaging Project! 22 houses and 1 public building were imaged as part of this years project.

By now all participants should have received their thermal imaging report and been asked to complete a feedback survey. This survey is important as it enables us to find out what went right and what went wrong and helps us to continue to improve this free service. Thank you to those who have already completed the survey. A reminder has gone out to any outstanding recipients.

This service is offered free to our community and takes a huge amount of our volunteers time. We estimate that each year we have spent over 180 hours working on it. Not bad for 6 people!

We have opened our list for 2018 and if you would like you house imaged early next year, please email your details to greeningchinnor@gmail.com and we will add you to the list. You will then be contacted later this year to confirm you are still interested.

Plant and Seed Swap Shop 6th May 10:00-14:00 Mill Lane School

Once more Greening Chinnor will be running a plant and seed swap at the Friends of the Earth Giant Swap Shop & Green Living Event at Mill Lane School on 6th May.

It could not be easier – bring a plant, some seeds or garden sundries and swap with something else. Or if you do not have any plants or seeds to swap a small contribution towards the cost of the plants we grow for this event would be appreciated.

After last year’s children’s Giant Bean growing competition, this year we are offering sunflowers plants to children to enable them to take part in this year’s free growing competition.

Community Litter Pick 2nd April

Our thanks to everybody who turned up and made this event another great success. Even the weather was merciful. It was really nice seeing a few new faces giving up some time to help our local community. 

Once again, the only sour note is the continued proliferation of dog waste bags hung from trees and hedges blighting our countryside. Please act like more responsible members of the dog owning community remembering to bag and bin. 

Look out for our next litter picking event which will probably be held in October.
