Environment Action

Ely Cathedral places creation care at the heart of everything we do and we are committed to walking in step with nature and taking action on climate change.

The Cathedral is part of the A Rocha Eco Church Award Scheme and was awarded the prestigious Gold Award in August 2024.

Our Environment Group RENEW, the congregation, clergy, staff and wider community are determined to build on our work as a Gold Eco Church, alongside meeting the Church of England’s target to become carbon ‘net zero’ by 2030.

Upcoming Events

24 - 26 January
RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch
Join hundreds of thousands of nature lovers taking part in the Big Garden Birdwatch across the UK to help the RSPB understand how our birds are doing. Choose an hour between 24-26 January 2025 and count the birds you see in your garden, from your balcony, or in your local park. Then tell the RSPB what you saw. Even if you saw nothing, it still counts.
