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

Bee tubes

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​
