Meet in the playground at Denholme Close Open Space at 2pm. We will travel to Nottingham Cliff, Malton Street and Ella Road by minibus, ending up at Abbeyfield Park at 3.30pm for tea and biscuits. There will be a chance for residents to ask questions about what they’ve seen and heard and make suggestions.
Please call Mark Stringfellow at BNDfC on 292 2910 to book a place in advance. Children under sixteen must be accompanied by an adult. No pets please!
The safari will include visits to four green spaces where the Green City Stewards have been working this year. Residents will have the opportunity to hear first-hand from Green City Action staff why the improvement of green spaces is an essential part of the overall regeneration of the area.
As well as making the green spaces attractive and useful for residents, instead of the “grot spots” they used to be, information will be provided on how properly implemented green space improvements, working together with residents who live close by them delivers appropriate changes.
Designing out opportunities for criminal and antisocial behaviour, increasing bio-diversity, increasing the area’s tree cover and overcoming years of neglect are key factors that Green City Action takes on board when working on these improvements.
