Cheviot Futures is an initiative committed to providing practical real-world solutions to the challenges our communities face due to the effects of climate change. The project is a cooperative formed from representatives of agencies and organisations involved in working with the rural communities of north Northumberland.
Cheviot Futures takes a simple, practical approach to land management that focuses on taking action to adapt to the effects of the changing climate. The impacts include increased rainfall and more severe storms, which can lead to flooding and riverbank erosion. Periods of low rainfall can lead to droughts and extreme temperatures can trigger wildfires and damage crops.
