The objects of Histon & Impington Green Spaces ‘for which the charity is established are, for the benefit of the public, the conservation, protection and improvement of the environment in the parishes of Histon and Impington by the advancement of biodiversity’.
The mission of HIGS is to secure, by acquisition or otherwise, long-term access to land in and around Histon & Impington and enable this to be managed for these twin purposes:
The first spaces for these purposes are Long Meadow (LM) and Croft Close Set-aside (CCSA), collectively known as Abbey Fields. Here we are seeking to protect and enhance their biodiversity. Importantly these areas will be for local people to enjoy, to savour their serenity and to connect with nature.
