Stanford Conservation

Because the village we love deserves to be conserved

Caring for Stanford since 1992

Stanford Conservation Trust is a volunteer group working to protect and restore Stanford's natural and built heritage. We look after the river, wetlands, footpaths and green spaces, and help protect the village's historic buildings and streetscape, so Stanford stays a healthy, connected and beautiful place to live and visit. Membership fees, donations, grants and fundraisers pay for the work.
