GreenSpace North West Events

Below are draft events/ workshops and special meetings planned for 2008 calendar year, including some confirmed events.

The objective for 2008 is to hold a number of half day workshops organised by the groups with the Forum Manager.

In addition the North West could aim to be the “Flag Ship” of ‘Love Parks Week’ with all authorities planning parks, outdoor health and clean-up events that week. (Clean up’s link with World Environment Day’s month of pledges giving parks added promotion opportunities).

Finally it would be good to promote parks on the web that support Summer Play Schemes as so many staff are dependant on the Scheme.
