How Project Affects Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions:

['Removes/stores GHGs (e.g., projects that capture, sequester, or otherwise enhance the "sinks" that accumulate and store GHGs)']

Impact on Underrepresented Groups:

The Thousand Year Project actively empowers underrepresented groups, particularly rural communities, by involving local farmers and landowners in rewilding efforts, providing sustainable alternatives to traditional farming. These partnerships create economic opportunities and ensure rural voices play a central role in climate solutions.

Our volunteer programs provide youth with meaningful access to nature, engaging them in hands-on conservation work that fosters environmental stewardship and builds pathways into the green economy. These programs are particularly impactful for individuals from underserved backgrounds, offering skills, education, and connections to the natural world that they might not otherwise experience.

Additionally, our site at Cabilla Cornwall holds great potential for social prescribing, offering nature-based therapies for at-risk populations, including individuals experiencing mental health challenges, loneliness, or physical health conditions. By creating inclusive spaces for healing and education, we contribute to improved well-being while strengthening the link between people and nature.

Our commitment to accessibility ensures diverse groups benefit from and participate in the project. By empowering rural communities, engaging youth, and exploring innovative health initiatives, we integrate inclusivity into our mission, ensuring climate solutions address both environmental and social challenges.
