Get Involved

Join Your Local Community Backgreen Group
If you live around a site we are already working at, you can join your local Community Backgreen Group, and work with your neighbours to improve and maintain the community green and other backgreens in your tenement square. 

If you are not sure whether or not you live around an existing community backgreen site have a look at the Site Finder map.  Have a look at the page for your site to find out what is going on and how to get in contact with the group.

Join Your Local Backgreen Blitz Team

If you do not live on an existing community backgreen site, you can join or set-up a Backgreen Blitz group for your neighbourhood.  The Backgreen Blitz groups are tasked with setting up the community greens in their neighbourhood.  They normally meet on a fortnightly basis from Spring to Summer.
