Our core beliefs and most important values
Most visitors are people who enjoy a stroll in the fresh air with friends, pets or children
Trustees who saved Bushey Manor Field from development continue to support it together with a committed group of Friends of the Field.
Vision Statement (from Greenspace Action Plan 2020-2025)
Bushey Manor Field will be protected as a valuable open green space, managed for the benefit of the local community. A vital breathing space for both people and wildlife, opportunities for recreation and leisure activities will be provided and wildlife habitats enhanced.
Mission statement
The first trust document was dated 1st October 2003 and its aims were stated as follows:
- Make a substantial contribution to the life of the whole community
- Be able to be enjoyed by people of all ages and physical abilities
- Be an attractive open place for people to take air and exercise, meet others and pursue leisure activities and pastimes consistent with shared enjoyment of the whole land
- Include significant “natural” areas where people can enjoy Nature and wildlife at first hand
- Make a positive contribution to the local environment and respect the established character of the area.
For everyone
Ensuring everyone has the opportunity to enjoy our green space
Not just part of the community’s history; not just contributing to the clean air of the surrounding area – a locally loved space providing the whole community with a chance to exercise, play, relax and unwind.
A designated picnic area perfect for family and friends to enjoy
30 acres of open land for the enjoyment of the whole community. A ‘Breathing Space’ for the people of Bushey providing a different experience from the local surrounding parks.
Our mission, indeed responsibility, is to preserve the natural space that is Bushey Manor Field; to provide a natural habitat for wildlife; to protect the beautiful trees and foliage.
