Green Flag Award

The Green Flag Award is the national standard for parks and green spaces in England and Wales.  The award scheme began in 1996 as a means of recognising and rewarding the best green spaces in the country.  It was also seen as a way of encouraging others to achieve the same high environmental standards, creating a benchmark of excellence in recreational green areas.

Judges from the Green Flag realise that all green spaces are different and this diversity is welcomed. Each site is judged on its own merits and suitability to the community it serves.

Awards are given on an annual basis and winners must apply each year to renew their Green Flag status.

Three Rivers District Council is applying for Green Flag status for two of our Local Nature Reserves; Chorleywood House Estate and the Aquadrome.

But we need your help!
Do you visit either of these local nature reserves? Do you go often or just now and then? Why do you go? What could we do makes these sites more enjoyable or more accessable? Do you have a complaint to make or would you like to pass on a compliment?
