Clean Air Trail

For Clean Air Day 2023, we are launching our Clean Air Trail in collaboration with The Making Rooms and Re:fresh. These trails are based in Witton Park and Bold Venture Park and will walk you into areas of clean air, whilst providing fun facts with our interactive signs. 

Our aim is to raise awareness of air pollution and encourage residents across BwD to leave their vehicles at home, go outdoors and enjoy nature whilst visiting our green spaces.  

Look out for our signs and get involved in the Clean Air Trail! Tag us @BwDPH on twitter with the hashtag #CleanAirTrail 

See our Re:fresh team talk you through the trail:
