See a list of all the Greenspace groups in the district, with links to their website or Facebook page. Our definition of a green space group is that it enhances land for more than private benefit, on a voluntary basis.
The next Green Spaces Groups Forum will be at 19.00 on Tuesday 20 March at Lancaster City Hall, where Knight, Kavanagh, and Page will present the results of their survey of Open Spaces and Playing Pitches.
Parks and People: Stronger Together
On Saturday 24 March 2018, the Northwest Parks Friends Forum will be hosting a free networking event for local green spaces volunteers at Christ Church Hall on Wyresdale Road in Lancaster (next to the Church). Registration begins at 9.30, events start at 10, and the day ends at 15.00. Come for the whole day or drop in any time. Light refreshments provided. These events are inspirational--it was attending one that first got some of us interested in and enthusiastic about and equipped to begin volunteering.



​
Trustee opportunity: Lancaster Green Spaces is a registered charity and one of our trustees is standing down later in the year. We are therefore looking for someone who is interested in green space issues for the whole district. We have very few trustee meetings and the demands on trustees are few. Although public open space is under threat (as always), developments give opportunities to create new public spaces and enhance existing ones. If you would like to know more, please email Simon Gershon using this link
Now up and running, this project enables you to volunteer in woodalnds in Canrforth, Lancaster, Morecambe & Heysham
