    HISTON & IMPINGTON GREEN SPACES

    The charity's mission is to acquire, or secure long-term access to, land in and around Histon & Impington and enable this to be managed for these twin purposes: nature conservation and the community experiencing nature for their enjoyment, health and wellbeing. The first sites for these purposes are Long Meadow and Croft Close Nature Reserve, collectively known as Abbey Fields.
