GX Conservation Volunteers
Do you use and enjoy the Commons and the Camp?
Do you walk or drive past the Commons and the children’s play area or the ponds?
The Gerrards Cross East and West Commons, which sit between the A40 and the town, are part of the Conservation Area and a pleasure to many. They connect North and South Gerrards Cross. Their woodland, myriad criss-crossing paths, two ponds, open areas, grass areas and glades are widely used by youth and elderly alike.
What We Do
The Conservation Volunteers maintain the paths, keep holly and ivy under control, clear excessive undergrowth / scrub/ brush, cut down dangerous dead trees, dispose of litter and reopen glades.
West Common footpath provides access from Packhorse Road to Latchmoor Pond for all residents including those in wheelchairs.
Walkers, cyclists, joggers, mothers with push chairs and small children on their scooters – all can now enjoy a clean, level, mud free surface… all the way from the A40 (Oxford Road) to the B416 (Packhorse Road).
This makes it safer for children and senior citizens, more pleasant for walkers and for those who run the 1500m running routes and more pleasant for children and teenagers who enjoy the play areas and football pitches.
Why Volunteer?
By doing this work we keep the area looking clean and attractive. Unkempt areas are a temptation for vandalism and litter.
Conservation volunteers find this rewarding and fulfilling as benefits include exercise in the fresh air, making new friends and knowing they are making a valuable contribution to the local community. Do join us!
