What is the Sustainability Group?

The Sustainability Group's mission statement is:

"To protect, maintain and enhance Shropshire’s unique environment and to improve the quality of life in Shropshire."

In order to achieve this, the group brings together a wide range of planning and environment services. In all these service areas, the group has experts who help to set policy, promote best practice and offer specialist advice. They also carry out research and maintain extensive information resources, which are available to the public.

To find out more about what the group can offer you, follow the links on this page. Or you can of course contact us directly if you think we may be able to help.

The group’s environmental work covers the whole of Shropshire, but the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) also has its own team of experts. They provide advice and management services and run community events and projects. To find out more follow the link on this page.
