Hedge Maintenance Morning - Saturday 26 May, 10am

Since the Friends embarked on its mission to plant hedges around the boundary of the park back in
2006, many have been growing very well. It's time to have a pruning, grass and bramble clearing
and general hedge maintenance morning to give them all a health check and ensure they will be able to
continue growing and flourishing. As well as protecting the fences of all the properties backing onto the
Fields the hedges are also a very important habitat for wildlife, something we are keen to encourage
and nurture in the park.

No need to book just turn up on the morning. If you can bring any useful tools, a flask of tea
or some hobnobs - all the better! Come and join in - they're always a lot of fun
