the environment

Following the purchase of the former RAF Greenham Common Airbase in 1997, 750-acres were immediately transferred to the control of the local council to be restored as common land, with financial support from the Trust. Greenham Common was reopened with unrestricted public access in 2000, providing a natural resource of national importance.

As well as the £770,000 already donated to West Berkshire Council towards the restoration of the Common, the Trust is also actively working towards a "green" business park, with green transport and commuting and energy efficiency being high on the agenda.

In 2003 the work of Greenham Common Trust was rewarded with The Queen's Award for Enterprise: Sustainable Development.
