Green Eco Projects

Green Eco Projects are all around our region, supported by a fantastic band of volunteers, or Green Eco Champions,  including the many ‘Friends of’ groups in the region. 

From the Friends of Countess of Chester Park, Chester’s Own Supertrees (The City Forest Garden), Incredible Edible Projects in Handbridge and Hoole, to the North West’s first community greening project 10xGreenerCH1 and its Postcode Gardener.   We have some fantastic volunteers in the region doing great work at making the area greener for us all.  

We want to map the areas where volunteers are making areas greener off their own back, that the council are not responsible for, to shine a light on their contributions to making Cheshire greener.

Cheshire West and Chester Council Green Spaces  

Cheshire West and Chester has a wealth of green and open spaces. 

These are not only home to wildlife, but also feature some fantastic facilities enabling local residents and visitors to enjoy countryside activities such as a woodland walk or a waterside stroll. 

Many of these have the benefit of ‘Friends of’ groups who help to take care of the area for local residents.   

Follow the links below for information on the different parks and green spaces in Chester.
