Our award-winning documentary series Cornwall's Climate Stories takes a fresh approach to the climate and ecological challenges we face.

The films have received praise from none other than Sir David Attenborough himself, who - after watching them - wrote to tell us:

All-important school workshops

However, we need your help to fund the rest of this film series about the impacts of the climate crisis in Cornwall... and particularly our programme of very popular school workshops. These are incredibly important given the small amount of climate-related content in the current curriculum (it does not feature at all at primary level).

Aside from our schools work, our films are free to watch online and are also used extensively for community screenings, as well as being featured at large national events such as New Scientist Live in London and the Oxford Real Farming Conference.

Local and relatable....

Instead of focusing on things happening far away in the Arctic or the Amazon, our 30-minute films showcase relatable stories and inspirational people working right here at home to find solutions and ways of adapting to the coming challenges.

In feedback surveys, viewers rate our films on average at 9.5 out of 10, particularly praising their balanced approach. The words most commonly used by viewers to describe how they feel after seeing our films are 'positive', 'inspired' and 'keen to learn more'.

The aim of the documentaries is to build a sense of connection, local pride and to motivate individuals and communities to act, by featuring a huge range of inspirational stories – from gleaners picking the ‘waste’ crops in our fields to volunteers monitoring changes to our waterways, projects to re-wet the vast carbon sinks of our peatlands, and a microbiologist keen to get us all eating low-carbon insects.
