The Green Flag Award scheme has launched a brand new website, which contains information about the Green Flag Award, together with the Green Heritage Site accreditation, and the Green Pennant Award. For the first time ever, you can gain access to information and contact details for 182 quality parks and green spaces across England and Wales. These award winners provide free access to the public and offer a wealth of activities for all. Park managers can also find out how to bring their green space to Green Flag.

Green Heritage Site Award.
