We are a group of volunteers who are trying to maintain and improve the greenspaces around Stockport. We aim to engage with the local communities to see what they want from their greenspaces and encourage them to take pride in their local slice of greenery. So far, our work has mainly focused around Reddish Vale Country Park, working with and supporting local community groups. Among other things, our volunteers have done a lot of: grass-cutting, leaf-blowing, litter-picking, overgrowth-clearing, tree-pruning, fence fixing and much, much more! We have also repaired and replaced broken benches, and installed new benches, tables and planters at the request of local residents and greenspace users.
