Main areas of work include:
Offering help and advice to community groups and individuals on countryside, based issues. For example assisting with rights of way improvement work, tree planting schemes, drystone walling etc. Working with the West Lancashire Canal Partnership to implement projects along the canal corridor in West Lancashire. Recent projects have included art work at Parbold and a picnic area at Moss Bridge.
Currently we are looking at the possibility of an arts based project at Halsal. The Canal Partnership actively encourages community groups to put forward ideas for projects along the Leeds Liverpool canal in West Lancashire.
If you have an idea for a project please get in touch. Over seeing the Green Partnership Grant in West Lancashire and Chorley
