Regional Environment Network

Introduction to SW REN

What is the South West Regional Environment Network?

The South West Regional Environment Network (REN) is an independent network of environmental agencies, organisations and groups in the South West region of England.

REN aims to make an important contribution to the regional agenda by adding real value to the efforts of those involved in protecting and enhancing the environment of the South West, in the context of sustainable development.

Since SW REN was formed in 1999, the network has made an important contribution to the regional environment agenda. It has encouraged and enabled:

  • The sharing of information and intelligence
  • More and improved partnership working
  • Access to a range of organisations and initiatives on a variety of issues
  • The continuing promotion, protection and enhancement of the South West's environment

Membership of this network is continually growing and it is proving to be an important voice in the busy regional agenda. SW REN has a significant input on an increasing range of issues and initiatives.

SW REN terms of reference

Terms of reference have been written in order to outline the role of SW REN and future ways of working. This aims to ensure that the network continues to maintain a high profile in the Region and that it adapts its ways of working to meet increasing demands.
