Friends of sutton Park AssociationSutton Park
Anyone visiting Sutton Park cannot help but want to protect this wonderful amenity for future generations. The Friends of Sutton Park Association has been very successful in doing this for 50 years. FOSPA was founded in 1950 in response to suggestions at the time that parts of Sutton Park could be made available for building on. Nowadays, as a National Nature Reserve the future of Sutton Park has probably never been safer. FOSPA, affiliated to the British Trust for Conservation Volunteers, concentrates resources on funding voluntary conservation projects in Sutton Park. Our Conservation Team, is made up of volunteers who work in partnership with the Sutton Park Ranger Service. All the work undertaken is based upon careful management plans drawn up between English Nature and other qualified ecological experts. We have two representatives on the Park Advisory Committee where we are able to put forward our views on all matters relating to the running of the Park. Thus ensuring that our voice is heard and our opinions are given consideration at the highest consultative level. To show you care and want to help preserve our National Nature Reserve you can become a member, it is not expensive, cost of annual membership is only £ 6.00 per year, full details are set out on our membership form and as you can see it represents very good value. We organise a wide variety of social events and conducted walks throughout the year - put on slide shows for local community groups - and produce a regular news letter for our members.
