	Enviromental Group
Environment Group (M.E.G.) was formed in 1994, under the Parish Council "umbrella". It consists of approx. 12 volunteers who care for the parish's 24 footpaths, bridleways and unmetalled roads. The Parish Council benefits from the Parish Paths Partnership Scheme, whereby an annual grant from Devon County Council is used towards major footpath work, e.g. materials and contractors, when required.
The volunteers meet on Wednesday mornings and carry out 2-3 hours work, mainly with loppers, shears and secateurs, sometimes strimming and mowing are also necessary, the volunteers having attended relevant courses.				We have also carried out drainage work and assisted in the construction of stiles and kissing gates. A survey is carried out each year to identify necessary work, and details submitted to Devon County Council.
Members produced a comprehensive footpath guide, the "Marldon Apple Pie Walks Leaflet", and, for the Millennium, a beautiful Parish map and booklet, in conjunction with local artists, a pictorial record of all that is so special about Marldon. These products can be purchased at Marldon Post Office. The walks leaflet is also available at Cox's Garage and at Bungalow Stores. We are always happy to welcome new members, free membership!!
