Friends of Greenspaces Volunteer

Friends of Greenspaces are groups of local people who work in partnership with their local authority and Countryside & Rights of Way to improve the management of their local green space, such as a Local Nature Reserve or park.

Groups can take on a range of activities supported by CMS, such as:

• Producing ideas on the management of the site.
• Holding agreed practical conservation volunteer activities, walks and events on their site for local people.
• Helping their local authority to develop, implement and monitor site management plans.
• Access external funding for agreed improvements on the site such as play area equipment, benches or a walking trail.

Friends Of Greenspaces meetings are flexible and vary depending on the needs of the group or site. Some get together weekly or monthly, whilst others meet a few times a year.
