Iver & District Countryside Association
Maintaining our Environment
Members of Iver and District Countryside Association are conscious of
the need to renew the spark of interest which lies dormant even in
those least concerned by the threats to our environment. It is said that
nature takes care of itself but in the 21st Century
it
needs our help to
survive against all the odds. The threats themselves become even wider
and indeed global.
The
Association is not seeking any champions of causes; more that the rights
of the community are, and remain,
protected
for the common good. We
in the Association wish to see its aims and objectives continued with
an appeal for
fresh
blood to join us in this unselfish desire. If you are interested in helping
to safeguard our environment please join us.
