Turn Lyme Green
Sustainability starts with you
Since 2007, we have been promoting sustainable living, and engaging the community in environmental issues in Lyme Regis. We meet regularly, plan campaigns and events, and have fun. Collaboration with other environmental groups in West Dorset and beyond is an important part of keeping everyone informed and up to date. TLG acts local, thinks Global.

We would love to hear from you…
We are grateful to Lyme Regis Town Council for its support over many years and for annual grants. Close liaison with the Council has led to success for campaigns, especially Plastic Free Lyme Regis and River Lim Action. We are also greateful for the relationships we have made with other local environmental groups, including Charmouth, Chardstock, Bridport, Beaminster and Axminster and at county level, Dorset Climate Action |Network (DCAN). These links make us all stronger in tackling the effects of climate change and threats to biodiversity.

More about us
As a local voluntary organisation, we have a constitution and each year an AGM to receive an annual report and accounts and elect officers. Our current officers are:
Laura Noel, Chair; Ruth Rose, Secretary; Grenville Barr, Treasurer. We do run a membership scheme for those who wish to show their support with a contribution towards our work with an annual subscription, currently £5 or £1 for unwaged. Interested? Please contact us for more information. But do know that everyone is welcome to all meetings whether a subscribing member or not. A copy of the recent Annual Report can be read here.
The Lyme Splash Sea Swim Challenge was due to take place on Sunday, September 8. After heavy rain and a discharge of wastewater from a storm overflow, the event was called off on the day before for health and safety reasons. The event could not be rearranged for later this year due to the harbour’s timetable, and because 50 volunteers are needed to see the event run smoothly.
