The Friends of Brocks Hill Country Park
The Friends of Brocks Hill Country Park is an activeindependent Friends Group to Brocks Hill Country Park (Oadby and Wigston Borough Council), a sustained and successful Millennium Project.
The aim of the Friends is to improve the Park and Visitor Centre. Objectives are: to promote the health and well-being of all area residents; to involve local people; to carry out and promote environmental and practical conservation, to educate, encourage and support the local population in environmental practice working with statutory and non-statutory agencies; and to promote community recreation and play areas.
The Friends was formed in late 2010. Since that time they have arranged events including Bird, Bees and Butterfly Days, a Healthy Living Day and Food Fayre Days, Talks and Walks, and have successfully applied for Grants. They have helped to raise funds for future activities and projects.
There are further plans for talks on subjects of interest and for short guided walks.
