Neston Earth Group was formed in 2019 with the aim of promoting environmental action in Neston. The group meets monthly and currently has several ongoing activities, campaigning for plastic recycling with local businesses, supporting the tree warden programme and promoting the litter picking hub network. It has been working with Neston Civic Society and Friends of Lees Lane Ponds to devise a Neston Tree Trail, one of the activities to be launched at the Festival.

The next meeting of Neston Earth Group is on 19th September, 6:45pm at NCYC and anyone keen to take action for the environment is welcome to attend.
