Heaton Mersey Conservation Group

Heaton Mersey is a lush green suburb of Stockport and Manchester set within an historic built environment located on the banks of the River Mersey. Its formal park, two nature reserves, ponds, river and wonderful vistas make it a popular place for people to walk, run, cycle, canoe, go horse-riding or just sit and enjoy being close to nature.

Heaton Mersey Village Conservation Group (HMVCG) is a volunteer-led community group focused on encouraging protection and care of Heaton Mersey’s conservation area and green spaces.

Working in partnership with the Stockport Council Greenspaces team we run monthly task days, supported by Cheshire Wildlife Trust and the Orchard Project. Details of events are posted below and in our volunteers facebook group: www.facebook.com/groups/HMGreenspaceVolunteers/. We also raise funds for special projects, host events and raise awareness of local conservation area related issues. Visit our blog and the HMVCG Facebook page to find out more about our recent activities.

If you have any conservation area or greenspace queries take a look at our links page which has lots of useful information. To get involved, go on our mailing list or contact us about a local greenspace or conservation area issue, please click here.
