Join the Friends

An invitation to join

The Friends of

The Community Forest Path

whose aim is:

to encourage the use of the 45-mile Community Forest Path around Bristol and to promote it as the embodiment of the Green Belt

by:

1)     Publicising the Community Forest Path (CFP)

and

2)     Making the Community Forest Path more accessible

Rationale

Because it is possible to navigate it on foot within 24 hours, the CFP gives Bristol a human scale – one of the factors that makes Bristol such a desirable place to live and set up businesses.

However, since the collapse of the Forest of Avon Partnership, which used to promote the Path, it has become necessary for the Friends of the Community Forest Path to step up to the mark and promote the Path as the embodiment of the Green Belt.

To do this, we need help from three sorts of people:

1)      Adventurers – to keep the Path in the public eye by feats of endurance, which demonstrate Bristol’s human scale

2)      Volunteers – to help keep the Path open and develop links to make the Path accessible to a wider range of people

3)      Supporters – to provide financial and other help to buy insurance and tools for the volunteers and to help publish promotional literature. (Our first target is to raise £180 to insure up to 500 man hours of volunteer work through the British Trust for Conservation Volunteers.)

If you can help, please subscribe by filling in the attached form and send it, together with a cheque made out to Friends of the Community Forest Path (£5 for an individual £20 for a club or other organisation), to Friends of the Community Forest Path, 161 Wellington Hill West, Henleaze, Bristol BS9 4QW.
