Mission
Green Corridors aims to protect, preserve and improve the linear green spaces that softly define community boundaries and which join up larger natural areas. We will work to provide animals and birds with contiguous ‘wildlife runs’ that prevent fragmentation of the natural environment by the built environment.

Vision
We believe that living in harmony with nature is important and that bringing children, families and communities into close contact with nature enriches their lives and creates a better living environment than unbroken expanses of concrete, bricks and tiles. We want the built environment and the natural environment to co-exist in harmony and in balanced proportions and for consideration to be given to creating this balance whenever planning strategies and priorities are devised.

Strategy and Implementation
Our greatest tools in delivering our vision are information and transparency. We will:

• develop educational opportunities to help people understand and appreciate the role that green corridors can and should play within our living environment,
• seek to give public exposure to plans that are incompatible with our Mission and Vision and to developers who do not embrace preserving a balance between the natural and the built environments,
• take an active interest and play our part in the planning process and in mobilising public support for planning strategies that support our vision,
• work to ensure local views, needs and desires are not overwhelmed by central government imperatives,
• use every opportunity available to pull public funding and private donations into delivery of improved and extended green corridors within our living spaces,
• Co-operate with other environmental groups and support more generally the move toward environmental sustainability in developing the built environment.

We will not

• Oppose development for its own sake
• Demonise builders and developers merely because they are builders and developers
• Try to save the world generally
• Resort to non-peaceful or illegal action
