Local to you

As you know from our other website pages, you are welcome to join us without any obligation to be active in any manner, and your support is much appreciated.

However the Open Spaces Society is busy on the ground through members whom we call local correspondents.

To become a correspondent, members choose their territory (which normally conforms to a local authority boundary). They are interviewed, and appointed by the board of trustees. Once appointed, correspondents have a high degree of autonomy, but they must report on their work to the trustees every quarter.

During the period of their appointment, the Open Spaces Society’s local correspondents communicate on our behalf with many local organisations, members of the public, local authorities and landowners, and with anyone and everyone in their territory who may be acting to the advantage or detriment of the public interests we seek to serve.

To find out whether we currently have a local correspondent covering your area, please e-mail us (webmaster@oss.org.uk) or write to head office (address on contact us page).
