About This Podcast
Welcome to the Green Pledge podcast from Gloucestershire Archives. Travel with us through time to discover stories of local people who’ve protected nature and addressed climate change.
We’ll dive into the historic archive bringing to light our environmental past, to reflect on the present, and imagine what our future could be.
It is important to us to capture a wide range of voices for the archives. The views that can be heard in the interviews are the contributors own and do not necessarily reflect the views of the archive.
Want to find out more about the project: The Green Pledge Project | Gloucestershire Archives
Project made possible thanks to National Lottery Heritage Funding.
