Keep our green hearts beating, Keep Cockington Country Park Alive

Hi my name is Lucia and first, thank you very much for reading my Blog to helping the Cockington Green Heart Foundation. The cause was created to restore Cockington Country Park to its former glory as it has deteriorated greatly through the years and this is what I want to tell you about and get you to care about their environment. They hope to help the environment such as the lakes there, the heritage there and the leisure activities there.

You May be thinking Why You should care about Cockington even if you don't live near Cocking ton or Torbay you should still care for many reasons, Including:

  • All the plants, animals and lakes will have to cope with even worse conditions than they live in at the moment which is not fair on them
  • The whole park will have to be closed off eventually loosing the important history from the park https://www.countryside-trust.org.uk/cockington/funding-appeal/why-donate
  • If the park is closed then the natural beauty of it will be lost to everyone
  • Even if the park is not closed it will become un-usable and unstable to locals and tourists and will be spoilt for everyone
  • Cockington is a major part of Torbay's economy and without it Torbay would be worse off with less jobs and a community far apart
 Even £1 makes all the difference to the appeal and to the environment.
 
Thank you greatly again for taking the time to read my blog. I would appreciate it even more if you could please post a response including the following:
  1. Had you heard about Cockington Green Heart Appeal or Restoration Project before and Do you now Know more about the appeal
  2. Would you be prepared to donate to the charity, tell your friends and family about it or volunteer for them
  3. Have I changed your opinion about Cockington or the environment if so please say how
  4. Finally please tell me where you live including your home town and country (If not in the UK)
Thank you so much,
Lucia

  1. I hadn't heard about them before so I now know more about them
    I would be prepared to do all of those things
    You have not changed my opinion because I already thought it was a good cause but you have given me more information on it

  2. I didn't know about this Appeal. Cockington is a lovely place and I would be glad to donate some money to help for the restoration and also pass on information to friends and family. A worthwhile local cause.
