FROM THE GROUND UP

Bringing Sustainability Into Your Life

Who we are

From The Ground Up is an Unincorporated Association; run by a group of dedicated volunteers, committed to creating a forum to inform local residents.   We believe that community-led events are the grass root movements that will make the essential changes required to support a sustainable way of life -  how these changes happen in, and, for the benefit of the community and globally.
