Images of Doorstep Greens

Doorstep Greens on film
Doorstep Greens are about changing places, and given that a picture can, apparently, paint a thousand words, we've decided to put some of our photos to illustrate the work Doorstep Greens is achieving.
Here on the Doorstep Greens project, we believe that a very important and often overlooked part of good monitoring is recording changes that have happened 'on-site'.  The photos we have taken of Doorstep Greens are for a range of purposes - some are for our Doorstep Greens Newsletter and other media use, whilst others are taken to show some of the poor conditions that public open space can find itself in, before projects like Doorstep Greens make it possible for local people to do something about it! 

The photos linked from this page are hosted on a different web domain, and if you click on the links, please note that you're leaving the Countryside Agency's official website.

The most recent images appear in the links at the top of the table below.  Please keep coming back - more will be added!  All photos are taken by Nick Turner, unless stated on the individual pages, and owned copyright © Countryside Agency
