Save Stanmore Country Park (Shropshire)

Friends of Stanmore, a voluntary group established in 2013, have worked in partnership with Shropshire Council to maintain and enhance our beautiful green space. Successfully applying for grants including Veolia - Make a Difference used for 43 wildlife boxes and Tesco - Bags of Help used for path improvements, wildlife meadows, interpretation signage and tree planting. The green space is a substantial wildlife habitat which is important to preserve in order to protect biodiversity. The local population will lose out as they currently enjoy free and unrestricted access to a large green space for recreation. The country park forms a hub which has enhanced community integration through volunteering, wildlife identification events and a community orchard. There is a deficiency of open space in the immediate area.
