Who are RSVP?

Restoring Shropshire’s Verges Project (RSVP) is a constituted group made up of volunteers.  We are supported in various ways by the Stepping Stones Project, National Trust, Shropshire Wildlife Trust, and Caring for God’s Acre.  We work across the whole of Shropshire, although much of our work to date has focussed on south Shropshire.

 

RSVP is the ‘umbrella’ for many other local verge projects happening across Shropshire.  We support local individuals, small groups of residents or parish councils to set up their own verges project in their local area.  As well as undertaking work such as managing road verges, liaising with Shropshire Council, giving talks and managing pilot projects

​

Our RSVP committee meets regularly – new members re always welcome!  The current Chair of RSVP is Charlie Bell.  The Treasurer is Rachel Glover. Other committee members are Janet Cobb, Peter Carty, Lorna Taylor, Meg Stratford, Mike White and Simon Martin.  We are currently looking for a Secretary – if you are interesting in helping us out please get in touch.

​

RSVP membership is free and is open to anyone who has an interest in road verge restoration and management for wildlife.
