Who we are
The land at Noakes Grove is owned by Organic Countryside CIC - we are a not for profit company and our money to buy Noakes Grove came from people who bought our shares.
Full details of the company are here.
We need lots more shareholders because we still have an outstanding loan to repay before the land is properly ours for ever. You can become a shareholder for a minimum shareholding of £100. This protects 25 sq metres of Noakes Grove for ever. That's a real bargain.
How
can I become a shareholder in Noakes Grove?

DONATE - and become our Friend
We have decided to use the name "Walden Countryside" to make it clear we are a local organisation but also that we work in other parts of the Walden area not just Noakes Grove. So now we are asking you to become a "Friend of Walden Countryside". If you are already a "Friend of Noakes Grove", you don't need to do anything.
Friends of Walden Countryside get our monthly email newsletter, early news of all our events and the wonderful, but not compulsory, chance to be one of our volunteers. This can be physical work at the reserve, office work, finding grants, whatever you are good at and want to do.
You can become a Friend for a donation of £5+ a year or signing up as one of our volunteers.
