SCEG manage the greenspaces around Shelley in partnership with Kirklees. We keep pathways clear, manage Shelley Educational Foundation land, plant trees, work with other groups in the area such as BEG and encourage residents to join us to help in all tasks from weeding and pruning to clearing brambles, creating and maintaining wildflower meadow(s). We always take the best approach for wildlife and biodiversity and engage experts where we can to ensure we are "doing the right thing". We also work closely with the SCA and SEF within the village to agree work beforehand.
