What We Do

From regular sessions litter picking or community gardening, to occasional walks, talks and other events, there’s plenty to interest FrANC members and others who share our love of the environment around the Avon New Cut.

Over the years, FrANC has published a number of leaflets and books. These include circular walks and a treasure hunt.

FrANC is free to join and we rely on grants, donations, volunteers and fundraising to support our activities.

You will then receive occasional emails inviting you to events or updating you on our activities.
