Queen Elizabeth II Fields Challenge

The Queen Elizabeth II Fields Challenge will protect a diverse range of outdoor spaces ensuring that there is something to appeal to everyone.

Aspal Close Local Nature Reserve has been nominated as part of the Queen Elizabeth II Fields Challenge. Residents now have the chance to vote for the site for it to go forward and become a Queen Elizabeth II Field. But time is running out, as voting closes on the 18 November.

If successful, the site will be dedicated as a protected Queen Elizabeth II Field. This won't change it's name or who owns it, but it will give it extra protection in perpetuity, as well as providing an opportunity to access additional funds to help develop it.
2012 is an exciting year in the UK with two great events scheduled: Her Majesty The Queen's Diamond Jubilee and the London 2012 Olympics. The Queen Elizabeth II Fields Challenge, operated by Fields in Trust, is a fantastic programme to protect 2012 outdoor recreational spaces in communities all across the country as a permanent living legacy of these landmark occasions.
The Queen Elizabeth II Fields Challenge gives communities an opportunity to vote for an outdoor space in their area to become part of the scheme and be permanently protected as a tribute to the Diamond Jubilee.
