Millennium Green

Established in 2000, the Millennium Green by the River Wyre in Garstang is a pleasant open space for use by all, owned by a charity and managed by volunteers. The land is secure and will never be developed. Stunning views across the Bowland Fells and riverside walks. Space for gentle relaxation, walking, recreational and educational activities all... associated with the countryside, but right here in Garstang. Wild flowers, copses and hedges have all been planted by volunteers, the management team and trustees. Bird and bat boxes have been put up to encourage more wildlife to the Green. Conservation work is ongoing and relies heavily on public donations. The upkeep of the Green is by volunteers from the Management Team, aided by Wyre Borough Rangers and Friends on regular monthly workdays (usually the 3rd Tuesday of the month) when they carry out routine maintenance and improvements The Millennium Green was the outright winner in the BEST ENVIRONMENTAL GROUP CATEGORY and their nomination demonstrated how the work of the Millennium Green and its Friends promote and encourage volunteers, schools and the community to care for their local natural environment and help to improve the understanding, awareness and appreciation of the area and its wildlife. Peter Ryder picked up the award for the team.Read More
