A quick appeal here for folk to join work parties at Chasewater starting today (Monday 2nd October 2017) helping the rangers clear the raised beds around the Innovation Centre and south shore that have become such a mess.

Kate Cardigan from the wonderful Friends of Chasewater group said:

Evening! Today the rangers & their volunteers started work on a new project at Chasewater – clearing out the overgrown vegetation from the raised beds. The plan is to transform this into a seating area, interspersed with new plants, and we will be working on it section by section. It’s a big job & we need as many hands on deck as possible. The work parties for clearing & planting up the first section are between 10am & 1pm on the following days.

• 2nd October
• 11th October
• 16th October
• 25th October
• 30th October

No equipment needed. Bring gloves if you have them, or borrow some from the rangers. Do an hour or come to every session, the choice is yours but be great to see as many people as possible getting involved. Thanks to Groundwork for helping to fund this section through their Green Doorstep project 🌿

Please do help if you can, and if you want to know more about the Friends of Chasewater, see this post here – they need your support, and you could help improve the park and the things that happen there!
