<p>The aim of YorkCliConnect is to support and strengthen the community that understands, communicates and takes action on the Climate and Nature Emergencies we are all facing.</p>
<p>By connecting people, projects and organisations in York we&nbsp; facilitate the sharing of knowledge and resources, reduce duplication of effort, support and encourage one another, and grow our community.</p>

<p>Extinction Rebellion York (XR York) is part of the international environmental pressure group&nbsp;<a href="https://rebellion.earth/">Extinction Rebellion</a>. . We use non-violent direct action and civil disobedience to urge decision makers and leaders to act now to reduce the impact of climate change. Our campaigns led to the City of York Council declaring a climate emergency in 2019 and pledging to reach Net Zero by 2030.</p>

REFILL Community Cafe

<p>At Edible York, we&rsquo;re working with the community to provide every local and organic food growing opportunity available. This also includes highlighting and pointing out areas where wild produce is already ripe for picking and areas which are ideal for foraging for delicious natural treats.</p>
<p>There is a world of goodness outside your home and with a simple look at our Edible Map; you&rsquo;ll soon see the vast array of naturally growing wild produce just waiting to be enjoyed. In addition to mapping out all the public food growing space that are known of across the York area, Abundance, York&rsquo;s urban harvesting group is also hoping to collect details of private fruit and vegetable sources. The map itself shows only publicly available areas.</p>
<p>Across York, the Edible Map highlights a vast array of wild fruit trees, ready for their fruit to be harvested and enjoyed, without a polythene bag in sight. From sweet chestnuts to wild apples and damsons to blackberries, the fruit available across York may surprise some people, who weren&rsquo;t previously aware of the extent of wild, natural produce available. The Edible Map is collated by members of the Edible York team but also accepts submissions from readers who have spotted something interesting.</p>
<p>As well as fruit trees and bushes, plucky foragers have spotted many naturally occurring herbs and spices amongst the hedgerows of the area. The map shows sites growing of garlic mustard, horseradish and even edible roses. With the vast array of natural produce growing, our work at Edible York can only serve to help the community build up from this great starting point and further develop the sustainable food sources in the area.</p>
