National and Global Events Calendar
The Merseyside Environmental Trust is a politically neutral charitable body that operates on an entirely voluntary basis, relying on membership fees and kind donations to raise awareness of sustainability issues, stimulate debate, award small grants to local organisations and act as a signposting body for environmental events and activities across the region.
