Getting there
For this session we're going to meet at the task, so you'll need to make your own way there. We encourage you to walk, run, or cycle to do so!
About this session
As a starter for the winter program of work, a Saturday 10am session with a variety of jobs available Come and join when you can after parkrin. And leave when you want. We will pick penywort around Freemans Meadow Lock, opposite the Foxes football ground. Also litter picking on the island there - lots of stuff has washed up on previous higher water levels. And cutting back overhanging bushes that snag litter and penywort which build into bigger obstructions. Please check out the facebook event that has all the details needed. Click going so that Amy knows to expect you, as well as signing up to this task.
