What we do
ParkLife South West has an important role to play in providing opportunities for people to be involved first-hand in a wide range of landscape and habitat enhancement schemes. Some are close to home, in towns and villages, others take place in more remote wild and scenic locations.
The ParkLife team is able to provide a complete project management service. From taking and developing ideas from community groups, through planning, consultation, searching for funds, grant applications, to organising, coordinating and supervising work on the ground.
ParkLife provides all necessary tools and equipment, some basic training for their use, light refreshments and supervision by trained, friendly staff. We have risk assessments for each activity, with £10m Public Liability insurance cover for our activities.
For working with young people and vulnerable adults, all staff are enhanced DBS checked, with Level 3 Safeguarding.
ParkLife projects can take place on a wide range of natural spaces. At a smaller scale this could be wildlife road verges, village greens and recreation grounds, and public parks of differing sizes. At the other end of the scale, new and existing woodlands, nature reserves and land being managed for wildlife within the wider landscape, or as part of a river catchment system.
