Our AIMS are:
To defend the interests of all who use the Commons legitimately and responsibly.
To watch for any threat to the Commons and alert the appropriate authorities for action.
To spread knowledge and understanding of the Commons.
To work with other responsible organisations, and especially the Nature Reserve and Rangers, to protect and conserve the Commons.
Our ACTIVITIES include:
Ecological Surveys. Since 1986 the Society has been surveying each of the seven areas of Common in rotation to build up a detailed database of the biodiversity of the habitat. This gives people the opportunity to experience the wildlife of the Commons and results from this on-going monitoring are fed into the Management Plan.
Working Parties. To conserve or clean up the Commons. These include birch and bracken bashing, pond tasks, footpath maintenance and rubbish clearance.
Indoor meetings during the winter. Talks on natural or local history subjects.
Guided Walks. To look at the various aspects of the ecology.
Visits. To other places of ecological interest.
Annual Report. Report on the Society's activities and results of the ecological survey.
Newsletters. Regular updates during the year.
