2026 Greenbelt Calendar Now Available

πŸ“† A Community Celebration

We're delighted to announce that our photo competition calendar is now ready - just in time for Christmas!

With over 120 stunning submissions from across our community, this calendar showcases the beauty of our local greenbelt through the seasons.

From the burst of sunshine in January to breathtaking landscapes and wildlife throughout the year, each month features a carefully selected image that captures what makes our greenbelt so special.

The selection process was no easy task given the quantity and quality of entries. We enlisted the help of Sapphire's wonderful children to review the shortlist, and while we could have filled several calendars, we've created a beautiful collection that works perfectly together.


πŸ† Congratulations to Our Winners

Thank you to everyone who submitted entries - it was wonderful to see the greenbelt through your eyes.
