Open spaces

We maintain open spaces in North Somerset for the enjoyment of residents and visitors.

We own and manage a large estate of forestry and woodlands across the area and ensure its protection.

We have local nature reserves in North Somerset for you to enjoy. We open them to the public wherever we can and promote visits by schools and colleges for educational purposes.

We also carry out countryside surveys in conjunction with partner organisations or volunteer groups.

We maintain closed churchyards which are no longer available for burials except to persons who have purchased a plot.

We take over the grounds maintenance and minor repairs for such places upon request from the diocese.

We also provide, maintain and inspect lifebelts at various sites across North Somerset.
