River Cam CAN Officer / Cambridge Nature Network

Penelope Chaney

Expand

Penelope manages the River Cam CAN (Climate Action through Nature) Project. Over 2 years it will deliver work on behalf of the Cambridge Nature Network and other local partner organisations. The project involves communities near the River Cam working on solutions that will benefit them and help to make the city more sustainable and resilient. 

This project helps more people learn about the problems facing their river system, the connection between these problems and climate and nature emergencies, and about how their actions make a difference. I also run the Cambridge Nature Festival which takes place each June.

Penelope also acts as a first point of contact for the Cambridge Nature Network and provides support for the partnership.

Penelope works part-time and can be contacted at [email protected] or 01223 243830 (ext. 209)
