FIVE areas of Wrexham have been identified to undergo a number of carbon lowering measures which local residents are being encouraged to get involved with.
Wrexham Council aims to cut carbon emissions across the county borough to support nature and be 'more green'.
The communities are Offa, Cefn Mawr, Rhos, Rhosddu and Caia Park.
Each area can receive up to £10,000 to develop initiatives to encourage changes in behaviour towards the environment and lower carbon emissions.
Councillor David A Bithell, Climate Champion, said: "We're pleased to have identified the five communities and we'll be working closely alongside them over the coming months to help them introduce measures that will support nature and help to reduce carbon emissions.
"A significant amount of money has been made available for this project so that the communities will have the funds needed to deliver really positive initiatives that people can get involved with."
Councillor Hugh Jones, lead member for environment, said: "This project will encourage a behaviour change in the communities that can be long-lasting against the harmful impacts of climate change and carbon emissions."
To get involved, local residents are being encouraged to attend events in each of the areas.
The next session will take place at Rhosddu's family fun day at Rhosddu Park on Saturday, June, 10 (12pm until 6pm).
Offa will hold its first engagement session on Saturday, July, 1 (10am until 2pm) at Parciau Community Centre.
Rhos will have a session on July, 1 at Rhos Community Centre (10am until 2pm).
Caia Park will host a session on Tuesday, July, 11 (3.45pm until 5.45pm) at Haford Y Wern School on Deva Way.

There is also an Environmental Day taking place at the Caia Park Partnership on Prince Charles Road on July 1 from 10.30am until 4pm.
Wrexham Council's team will be busy at Offa and Rhos, but there will be plenty of great activities for residents, including a repair cafe.
Residents can give their ideas to the team and develop ideas to help the council take action.
Any questions you might have can be answered in the upcoming sessions in the five communities. Alternatively, you can email your query to decarbonisation@wrexham.gov.uk
