The Greensand Ridge area is continually changing – rarely for the better as far as the natural environment is concerned. Bedfordshire’s green spaces are constantly under threat from development, and more development can lead to a more fragmented natural environment, less useful habitat for wildlife, and fewer green spaces for local people to enjoy.

The Trust’s 10th Anniversary Growing Greenspace Appeal is intended to raise funds to buy land, whether it is threatened by development, or to strengthen the network of sustainable green space. This will secure, protect and link vital areas of countryside, improve access, and preserve landscape, heritage and wildlife features.

Unfortunately, developers have far more funds available than the Greensand Trust ever will. Which is why we need to ask everyone who supports what we do to make a donation – however small – to our Growing Greenspace Appeal. If you are a UK taxpayer, please tick the Gift Aid checkbox on the donatons page and you will help us even more, at no extra cost to yourself, by enabling us to claim back the tax on your donation and therefore increase it by at least 22%,.

Think of it as an investment with a guaranteed return: a richer, more diverse, more natural environment for everyone and everything living in the Greensand Ridge area, for now and for decades to come.
