The Friends of Caldy Nature Park was formed in 1991 when Cheshire West and Chester Council took over responsibility for the area. The group plays an active role in the development and maintenance of the Park and provides a link between the Cheshire West & Chester Council, the Great Boughton and Huntington Parish Councils, and the local community.
The Friends seek to keep a balance between the needs of local people and the wildlife in the Park. Their aims are:
To work at all times with officials appointed by Cheshire West & Chester Council (CWAC) to improve the recreational and natural assets of the area adopted by CWAC as Caldy Nature Park.
To consult with the Great Boughton and Huntington Parish Councils and the general public about plans to develop and manage the park.
To keep local people informed about developments in the Caldy Nature Park and to encourage them to become involved.
To seek funding from all appropriate sources to enable the group to pursue the above aims.
