Volunteers at Gedling Country Park are launching a new environmental event this summer.
It will be run by Friends of Gedling Country Park and Gedling Borough Council on Wednesday, August 2.
Organisers want to showcase the area’s environmental groups.
Friends of Gedling Country Park chairman Terry Lock, 75, said: “We all hope this will become an annual event which celebrates education, environment and local help.
“We want local groups who work with the environment, such as running groups, the scouts and wildlife groups.
“At the minute we have a list of about 30 groups and activities we are talking to.”
These include bat groups, beekeepers and the Nottingham Climate Change Partnership.
Twelve groups have confirmed they will attend including the Women’s Institute, Men in Sheds and the Entomological Society.
Terry added: “We are hoping to appeal to everyone, we want people to come along to see how they can get involved in their communities.
“We are not looking to do another Gedling Gala.
“We want this to be very much an educational environmental based event, which we hope in time could become quite a major environmental show for not just Gedling, but the whole of Nottinghamshire and the East Midlands.”
Gedling Country Park only opened in 2015.
