If your New Year's resolution is to get outside more, or get more involved in your local community, then you may like to pitch in and help with some environmental work.
Community organisation SO18 Big Local is working with Pippa, a community gardener, and a council ecologist, to organise some environmental maintenance work this January, and more projects are on the cards for February and March.
