The Green Team

The Green Team is a group of volunteers who help look after and maintain the green spaces in the village. Each particular green area in the village has a nominated Guardian who looks after their area. When needed, the Guardians ask for working parties to be arranged, so that additional volunteers can come and help with the work. A list of the green spaces and their guardians is given below. As well as the regular volunteers, we would encourage anyone to come along and help at the working parties. It is a great way to get to know more people in the village and to contribute to village life. Details of upcoming events are published on the What's On page.
