Urban Green Corridor

York Greenways is partnering with St Nicks Environmental Resource Centre on their Urban Green Corridor Project. Watch this short you tube clip https://youtu.be/bFejokY6u6Y

Our partnership focusses on the entrance to the traffic free network of paths in and around York from the Askham Bar Park and Ride which gives access from the west of the city and from buses from the city centre. Our aim is to raise its profile particularly to road users entering the city from the west and to make it a more pleasant experience.

Our activities include –

  • The verge along the highway
  • the path to Askham Bog and Copmanthorpe
  • The replica railway signal visible from the road
  • The “Welcome to the Solar System Greenway” sign
  • Wildflower planting
  • Mural on the underpass.
  • Litter picking

If you want to get involved we meet the last Friday each month on Sunday Moring from 10 until 12. See York Greenways Facebook page for details
