Our Green Network

We cherish our public green spaces. 

Across all 4 parishes, we have a rich array of green spaces, some of them very new.  

Our green spaces support all sorts of uses, ranging from recreation grounds through allotments to nature reserves.

What We Do

We care for our network of green spaces 

 

Our strategy for our green spaces is to treat them like a network, making them the best they can be for the benefit of both people and wildlife.

 

  • We encourage people to visit the green spaces and record the wildlife they see on our Facebook page.

  • We provide green volunteering events

  • We help owners such as parish councils to manage the green spaces

Bug hotel

We create wildlife habitats, such as swift boxes, bug hotels, bat boxes and owl boxes.

Swift bricks

Hedgehog highway

Wildlife pond

We celebrate the ‘Green-in-Between’. Private gardens and all the connecting habitats in between have huge potential to provide space for nature.

We share ideas on wildlife-friendly gardens (and buildings!) and enable wildlife to move around and through our villages. Here is a taster:

 

  • Create a pond and maybe tadpoles will come

  • Grow pollinator-friendly plants and spot the butterflies

  • Create a hedgehog highway with other gardens
