We are campaigning to protect the 132 acres of green belt park land of Maidenhead Golf Course. We firmly believe that this publicly owned land should be protected from development. Around 40 per cent of the space is woodland, including ancient woodland, and provides important habitat for a wide range of plants, animals, insects and fungi.
Protecting greenspace and biodiversity is a vital part of the steps we must take to prepare for and mitigate the effects of climate change.
Our vision for the land is that it continues to provide a green lung, important wildlife habitats, carbon sequestering, water storage and amenity for the people of Maidenhead.
If the greenspace of the golf course is protected from development, future generations will have the opportunity to use this space in the best way possible for the wellbeing of the people of Maidenhead. This could include tree planting, water storage, environmental education, community activities and as a Great Park for everyone.
We need your support to defend nature in our town!
Our Go Fund Me campaign has been set up to raise money for the legal and environmental expertise we need to ensure this vital green space is protected for our community and for future generations. This is likely to include:
- Legal fees for a possible Judicial Review and for placing legal protections on the land to prevent future development;
- Ecology surveys to help secured designations and protections for wildlife; and
- Campaign awareness such as leaflets, posters and social media.
