OLD GALA PARK HALLOWEEN 2009 THEY SCARED UP SOME LITTER!

Halloween. The hallowed day when witches and ghosts walk the earth; mingling with the black cats, the zombies, and of course, the reapers themselves. The day when even a lowly bumblebee can grab a litter picker and join in with the...wait...What!?

WE STAND AGAINST litter ~ dog fouling ~ fly tipping ~ apathy ~graffiti ~ invasive species ~ pollution ~ overbuilding on flood plains ~ harming our wildlife ~ glass shards in the river ~ negativity ~ vandalism ~ plastic bags in trees!

WE STAND FOR cleaner & greener Dunipace & Denny ~ community spirit ~ rolling up our sleeves ~ murals ~ biodiversity ~ team work ~ open spaces ~ walking & cycling ~ positive attitudes ~ energetic solutions ~ footpath improvements ~ healthy active adults & kids!


Community Green Initiative has been involved in community clean ups and path refurbishment issues since 2006; in June 2008 we officially formed as a constituted body and have expanded our interests to include invasive species, murals, green education, Green Dog Walkers campaign, carbon footprint reduction and more.

As our work has increased quickly to encompass the whole of Falkirk district and our Green Dog Walkers campaign is now reaching out into England and other parts of the UK, we hope that many will enjoy the opportunity to connect with us through this website.

Please stop by often, we will have new information monthly and our newsletter NEW LEAF NEWS will be available here each quarter. (When you visit our newsletter page please do sign up as a free subscriber – we operate mostly through funding so it helps us to be able to document the numbers of our readers.)
