A Green Flag is an award that recognises good quality parks.

We need £19,400 to raise it up to Green Flag standard. With this money going towards the following important bits of work:

• entrance signs
• repairing the information cairn about the Tay.
• A new path from the caravan park to the wildlife pond. Felling the old fir trees and replanting with Beech Trees.

A Green Flag is an UK award that recognises good quality parks. It is run by Keep Scotland Beautiful. Judges visit the park, they assess the park using eight criteria which are:

• A welcoming place
• Healthy, safe and secure
• Well maintained and clean
• Environmental management
• Biodiversity, Landscape and heritage
• Community Involvement
• Marketing and Communication
• Management

The judges also assess a management plan.

If we achieve Green Flag status for the Common it will have been judged to be as good as Baxter Park in Dundee, Princes Street Gardens in Edinburgh and Glasgow Green amongst others.

To help make this happen we want to raise £5,000 through MyParkScotland to take the first steps on out journey to raise the Green Flag!!
