Welcome to Green Appleton




We are a local green group, aiming to enhance biodiversity in our area, encourage awareness of nature and promote sustainable living.

    
Battling Balsam
We are trying to tackle the vast numbers of Himalayan Balsam that have taken hold in Besselsleigh Woods.
See the blog post for details.

Can you help?

We are having balsam pulling sessions in the woods on Weds 11th and 18th at 7pm, and the Earth Trust are running daytime sessions on Thursdays at 10am.
Come and join us!

We want to conserve and restore nature within Appleton, Eaton and Besselsleigh, tackle global environmental challenges and maximise the benefits we get from nature, all of which can be summed up as:
'Think globally, act locally' for nature



2024 has been a very eventful year for us, and we have become involved in some exciting projects. These are shown below, linked to the relevant section of the site, where you can find more detail.
