A youth-led, hyper‑local project exploring how Wolverhampton can become greener — inspired by the corridor’s mission to improve infrastructure, reduce carbon, and support sustainable growth. Young people investigate issues in their own neighbourhoods and create projects that make a real difference. Aims Build environmental awareness in relatable, local ways. Give young people ownership over improving their community. Develop skills in research, teamwork, campaigning, and practical action. Connect young people with local partners (council, university, green groups).
