ParkActive

Lots of volunteers, March 2012

Hands-on conservation activities, in association with the Park keepers and Park Rangers. Normally once a month, on Mondays 1-3pm. For details, contact the Park Rangers (see below). This weekday timing is to fit in with the series of conservation opportunities arranged via the Park Rangers, including those at other locations.Our first session of 2012 was on March 19th, and we planted up around the pond, completing work funded by the York Community Pride grant, adminstered by Two Ridings Community Foundation. We had plenty of volunteers which was just as well, as we had lots of plants, and two benches to get in place! Thanks to everyone who came and helped.

The benches are going to be great for sitting and admiring the pond - when they’re finished. At the moment the uprights are in, but the rangers are looking to find a really heavy-duty drill so they can attach the seat part of each bench.
