A WEEK of events entitled 'Change your Carbon Footprint' were recently held around Chagford. Five events were organised to encourage local residents to reduce their footprint by growing and producing food locally.

The week was launched with stalls featuring local food producers from within a 40-mile radius, whose products were also used for a barbecue later that evening, organised by the Courtyard Café.

The following day saw best selling author Charles Dowding, giving a 'no dig workshop' from his new book 'Organic Gardening: The Natural No-Dig Way.'
