COAST AND COUNTRYSIDE CATASTROPHE?
Hello and thank you for taking interest in my blog. I am trying to raise awareness of issues surrounding Torbay Coast and Countryside Trust, this organisation helps restore Torquay’s coast and countryside. Why is this important you may ask? But it is, much of Torquay’s lush countryside is being affected by building and tourist attractions, Cockington Country Park is also part of TCCT and is very important to me personally because I live there. The Beaches in Torbay are greatly affected also by litter and pollution and it can make Torbay look shabby and unclean which could affect the economy long term, so let’s not let our countryside go to waste, and even if you don’t live here this problem could build up and eventually reach you so any contribution would be a great help!
What Torbay could look like without our help, littering beaches is bad as it makes beaches look horrible and it also makes it unsafe for anyone to go on the beaches and also bad for wildlife that come across the litter, Torbay Coast and Countryside Trust do litter picking projects on Torbay’s beaches to contribute, many people get involved.
This is what is happening to a lot of country side in the Torbay area, people are building upon the land which destroys it and makes it very unattractive; it even kills animals and gives them nowhere to live. Many people visit Torbay for its countryside and if we destroy the countryside then not many people would want to visit, which means eventually affecting the economy.
Torbay Coast and Country Side is a great organisation and you can become a member and contribute to the organisation or you can support, they have many projects such as cake sales and festivals up at Occombe farm and different holiday events, they raise as much money and awareness as they can to help the coasts and countryside of Torbay, I want to support this cause as I feel it is very important to look after our surroundings.
Thank You for reading through my blog and I greatly recommend you to go and inquire about Torbay Coast and Countryside as it’s a great cause. Could you now please post some responses to these short questions:
1. Have you heard about the work of Torbay Coast and Countryside Trust before reading my blog?
2. Do you now feel more informed about the Torbay Coast and Countryside Trust?
3. Would you be prepared to support the work of the Torbay Coast and Countryside Trust by supporting their fund raising events?
