The Trust was formed in 1994 to help protect, enhance and where possible, create public access to over 30 acres of land owned by the Parish. The land includes a mixture of agricultural land, woodland and marshland. The Trust receives funding by way of grants from various sources and volunteers carry out all of the work except those jobs that require expertise. Who Runs the Acle Lands Trust?
