Friends of Outwood Country park.

Outwood country park covers over 60 hectares and hosts an array of important habitats, including young broadleaved woodland, grassland, heathland, and ponds. The Friends of Outwood Country Park are hoping to make a positive difference. Primarily we are focussing on eradicating the Himalayan Balsam which is an invasive non-native species (INNS) and killing off our native species at a rapid pace. We are also looking to improve the footpaths to make it more accessible and less of a mud fest!

We are looking for volunteers and any skills you may have we will have a use for – from trades, admin roles, committee members, flexi-volunteers, and even being able to help with a good old cup of tea!

Whitefield and Radcliffe Environmental Forum (WREF)

Do you feel concerned about Climate Change? Have you ever wondered if there’s anything you can do to help tackle it?

A group of concerned Whitefield and Radcliffe residents believe that working together we can begin to make effective changes in our hometown and in our own lives.

The Forum was launched in March 2022 with an inaugural tree planting in Philips Park. In partnership with City of Trees and support from Bury Council we embarked on a yearlong campaign to increase biodiversity across Whitefield. We planted over 1600 trees to capture carbon, and worked with schools to plant wildflowers, helping embattled wildlife along the way.

In 2023 / 24 we are continuing to work with other community groups to help Bury Council achieve its challenging targets for carbon neutrality as set out in its Climate Action Plan. To join us, sign up here today, or drop us an e-mail at whitefieldef@gmail.com

We look after the communal gardens around Coronation Gardens, and we have 'The Friendly Bench' which can be fully accessed by all. We would love more groups to use it as a meeting point for walks etc
