Local community groups
We actively encourage volunteers to set up groups, or to join existing ones which help make a difference in the local community and provide ways to learn new skills.
York has numerous voluntary groups who help maintain areas such as:
- Acomb Wood
- Chapman's Pond
- Friends of Clifton Backies
- Friends of Danesmead Wood
- Friends of Fishponds Wood
- Friends of Glen Gardens
- Friends of Hob Moor
- Friends of New Walk
- Friends of Rowntree Park
- Friends of West Bank Park
For information about joining a local group or volunteering in your neighbourhood, contact our Environment and Community Officers.
