Culbokie Green has beome a car-free haven in the heart of the village providing a community gathering space, a local destination for informal recreation and an off-road walking route through part of the village. The Green has been designed to be attractive to all sections of the community with the following features:

• Meadows which will be cut once or twice per year to promote flowering and encourage butterflies and bees

• Mown areas suitable for playing and to keep the Green looking tidy

• Winding paths with bench seating to encourage people to stop, rest and chat

• Native trees to provide some shelter, amenity and wildlife interest

• A community orchard including apples, pears, cherries and plums as a focus for community involvement and to promote engagement with local food

 

• A timber shelter with a natural roof which is a focal point for community events and learning

• Family games including outdoor table tennis

• A natural play area for younger children including log and boulder features, willow dens and tunnels.

• Safe active travel connectivity to the rest of the village

 

Volunteering is actively encouraged to help with the development and management of the Green through the Green Team. This provides a positive opportunity to bring the community together, develop and share skills and build local capacity.
