Millennium Greens are areas of green space for the benefit of local communities. 245 were created in cities, towns and villages across England to celebrate the turn of the Millennium. Their creation was funded in part by the National Lottery via the Countryside Agency. Each one is different, as local people have had an input into the design of their green. The project to create 250 Millennium Greens across the turn of the Millennium (2000/2001) was started in 1996 〔(Description by Natural England. )〕 and ended when the last Green was handed over to its own, local charitable trust in perpetuity. Each trust now fundraises for and runs its own green, within the bounds of its trust deed, for the benefit of its local community. == Aims == The aims of Millennium Greens, as stated in their trust deeds, are as follows: * Make a substantial contribution to the life of the whole community * Be able to be enjoyed by people of all ages and physical abilities. * Be open and evident to visitors to the Locality as well as inhabitants. * Be an attractive place for people to take air and exercise, meet others and pursue leisure activities and pastimes consistent with the shared enjoyment of the whole of the land. *Include an area suitable for community events and celebrations. *Include significant "natural" areas, where people can enjoy Nature and wildlife at first hand. *Make a positive contribution to the local environment and respect the established character of the area. *Remain safely and conveniently accessible from Inhabitants' homes. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Millennium Green」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
