The Green Flag Award is an international recognition program that honors parks and green spaces for their high standards of management and environmental practices. It encourages local authorities and community groups to maintain and improve their outdoor areas, promoting biodiversity, sustainability, and community involvement. To earn a Green Flag, sites must meet specific criteria, including cleanliness, safety, and accessibility. The award is managed by the Keep Britain Tidy organization in the UK and has expanded globally, inspiring communities to create and maintain quality green spaces for public enjoyment and environmental health.
