The council wants more people to plant trees

Groups are being urged by a council to apply for cash to fund climate change projects in Derbyshire.

High Peak Borough Council said the grants, worth up to £500 each, were part of its commitment to reducing carbon and greenhouse gas emissions.

Individuals seeking to make a difference to the environment are also eligible to apply for the funding.

The council has published a list of possible climate change initiatives on its website, external.

They include planting trees, sustainable food projects and green travel schemes.

Jean Todd, executive councillor for climate change, said: "I hope that this will encourage people to turn their ideas into actions and I look forward to seeing the innovative and creative projects that result from this extra help."
