An amazing new community project is on its way!
We are so excited to announce that the first ever community owned woodlands project for
Harrogate and Knaresborough is underway!
As Nidd Gorge Community Action, we secured initial funding and received professional advice to establish a Community Benefit Society (Long Lands Common Limited) and draw up a Community Shares offer. We raised over £300,000 from public share purchases, and we will now move forward with purchasing the land that is to become Long Lands Common.
We are now ready to empower individuals, families, schools, community groups and businesses to make history and join forces to purchase the land, so that all ages can enjoy working together whilst reaping the many special benefits, for people and the environment, that a community owned woodland will bestow:
tackle climate change and flooding
To find out more about Long Lands Common as a community owned woodlands project and the benefits for you, your school, community group or business, please explore the rest of our website.
If you have any questions at all, please get in touch. We look forward to hearing from you.
