Over the last 15 years, the community at Hilfield Friary in Dorchester have been working hard to make their land and buildings more climate friendly.

A grant from Low Carbon Dorset for solar panels has helped the community get even closer to their net zero goals.

You can find out more about the project and the motivations behind it in our touring photo exhibition, now on display at Durlston Country Park.
