Ideas to inspire people to take action
For a simple and quick way to get your case study onto our website, please use our Case Study Submission Form: click here and take a look. We have designed the form so it is easy to complete. It allows other Friends groups to read and learn from your story. We hope they will be inspired by what your group has done and learn some useful tips to enable best practice.
Many thanks to all the groups who have submitted their case studies to us so far, they showcase the kinds of things local park users can achieve. We hope they inspire others to take action too!
