What we do

We are a small but perfectly formed independent charity devoted to enhancing Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole’s parks and green spaces for everyone to enjoy. Parks breathe life into our towns providing our communities with precious spaces to get together, exercise and play.

Seasonal activities

Kick off the new year by learning something new – and spend some time outdoors in nature.

Whether you’d like to get creative with nature photography, learn how to prune fruit trees, or become a citizen scientist and survey bird species, January has opportunities to try something new.

Plus our GreenFingers volunteer groups will be busy with seasonal tasks in our parks – there’s always plenty to do.

Ranger Work Experience
