The first FoGA challenge of the Spring season is to clear the litter that has accumulated over the winter, particularly in those difficult to reach places that new vegetation growth will soon cover over. We have a program that will clear all the woods, paths and open spaces by the end of March. This forms part of an on-going program to keep the access to rights of way clear.
Friends will also be supporting the action the Great Ashby Woodlands & District Park Green Spaces Action Plan 2020-2025. This is an ambitious, yet well resourced plan, which aims to ensure we can all enjoy our beautiful environment, promoted and enacted by the Country Management Services (CMS), who are sponsored by Herts County Council (HCC) and the North Herts District Council (NHDC).
We have also offered our services towards improving the walking and cycle access to and from Great Ashby, with appreciation to Stevenage Borough Council for their comprehensive strategy, which takes account of Great Ashby’s needs Stevenage Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan. We have a meeting planned with the NHDC equivalent in early April 2020. Please do join us.
On a social front, FoGA are supporting the efforts of invis-Ability to teach sign language through the ‘invis-Ability Community Sign Choir’; the great work of Powers, which is an all inclusive group for children and families with additional needs; the Hertfordshire Health Walks ; with the sponsorship and by the peer support offered by the Adept Living Foundation.
