You can read his poem below this article.
The group announced the winner at this year’s Bromsgrove Carnival where it had a stall, along with arts and crafts posters being sold and a name the bee competition.
Judith Tipper, from Bromsgrove Climate Action, said: “There was lots to do and some amazing singing and dancing as well as a wide variety of food choices.
Hundreds of people turned out despite the awful weather and everyone had a great time.”
Because of the success of the poetry competition, it has now been extended to December with loads more prizes to be won between now and then.
The themes for the poetry competition were ‘bees, butterflies and creepy crawlies’ (first school), anything nature related such as: ‘If trees could talk what would they say?’ (middle and high schools) and changes noted in the natural environment – for example in Bromsgrove district (adults).

Planet poetry by Thomas Creswell
How elegantly the birds fly
As they gently swoop across the sky
The flowers bloom so colourful and bright
and their leaves curl uo in the starry night
How the trees tower so high and
their branches wave goodbye
Robins,ducks and coloured doves
All these birds, I thoroughly love
Nature is great for our minds
There are tons of wonders to find
Nature will always have a place in
my heart and hopefully your too.
