In 2019, the Council’s positive and constructive approach allowed the Campaign Committee to reinvent itself as the Dane Bank Green Space Community Group a proactive community group with a mission to protect and enhance the open space, promoting environmental awareness and education.

Other than the Fishing Pond and Forest School, the Group manages all other areas of the Main Field including the Duck Pond, Sensory Garden and Nature Trail.

The Group will be responsible for managing and maintaining the proposed Ecolodge expected in 2025/26.

The Forest School’s mission is to provide long-term access to the natural world for all children and inspire the next generation to look after our world. They offer a unique opportunity for children to learn and grow in the great outdoors. The site provides a range of activities including an outdoor nursery, home-education programmes, SEND & SEMH provision as well as holiday clubs for parent and baby sessions.

Kids Go Wild provides a space where children can run free, make new discoveries, and learn all about how to respect nature and wildlife. They are proud to be inclusive and welcoming of children of all backgrounds and abilities.
