Pencoed/Mount Wood achieves coveted Green Flag Community Award

Keep Wales Tidy has unveiled this year’s Green Flag Award winners – the international mark of a quality park or green space. 

In total, 101 community managed green spaces in Wales have met the high standard needed to receive the prestigious Green Flag Community Award (83 in 2016/17).

The flag will be flying at Pencoed/Mount Wood in Denbigh in recognition of its excellent facilities and commitment to delivering great quality green space.

We are very pleased to have received this award for the third year running and feel it is just reward for all the Keep Wales Tidy and Countryside Services volunteers who keep it in such good order and to the committee of the Denbigh Community Conservation Volunteers (DCCV) which has now been involved in projects to improve Denbigh’s environment for over 20 years and continues to look for further areas to work on.

The Green Flag Award scheme is delivered in Wales by environmental charity, Keep Wales Tidy, with support from Welsh Government. It is judged by green space experts, who volunteer their time to visit applicant sites and assess them against eight strict criteria, including horticultural standards, cleanliness, environmental management and community involvement.
