The travellers have left Connaught Field in the park and the clean up begins. Our volunteers will be there to help make the park clean and safe

Saturday's working party continued with work from last year, trying to keep the brambles and sycamores down on the upper lakeside up to the pontoon deck. A lovely day for some satisfying work 🌞

Thanks for an excellent litter picking session yesterday. Good to welcome the girls from the Al-Kauthar Academy. Great turnout and a good haul. We collected about 35 bags collected in total.

Our volunteers were extra busy last week! On Tue a small team replaced part of the sensory garden pathway edging. On Thur they were in the upper lake stumpery clearing space for new ferns & clearing the grids. Then on to weed the rhododendron bed by the tram carpark. Phew!

Saturday's working party volunteers spent their time wrestling mud! Lots of hard work clearing the grids and stream in Fox Wood. Fortunately there were lots of tea and biscuits as a reward! Thanks everyone

Saturday's working party was back at the upper lake. They cleared Ram Beck grids, tidied the stumpery & the fence line overlooking the beck inlet into the lake, & removed nettles along the edge of the path. Then some well- deserved coffee & biscuits! Thanks all

We’re aware of the BGA algae in the lake. The Council and the Environment Agency are aware. Please keep your dogs out of the water; blue green algae can be fatal for dogs. Canoe sessions are on hold.
