Green Tales
The Parish has a rich history of 'green' folk who have devoted themselves to conserving the natural heritage of the parish and actively enriching nature for the benefit of the whole community. The Nature Recovery Network is just the latest reincarnation of their Spirit. The 'Green Tales' Project Group have begun to gather oral, written and visual histories of these folk. If you have stories and photographs of the greening of the parish, we'd love to hear and see them. These tales are inspirational and as you know - 'sharing is caring'. Here is our project discussion forum.
