Nature’s Gym location change on 23rd February 2012

Please note that on 23rd February 2012 the Nature’s Gym team will no longer be at Iona Close Orchard.  Instead they will be helping the Friends of Beckham Place Park do some tree planting in the old burning yard.  This plating has been made possible thanks to a successful bid to the Forestry Commission.

Do not worry though, they will be back at Iona Close Orchard later in the year where will be continuing the sterling work started in November 2011 and working hard to create a new footpath through the site.

If you would like to help with the planting, please visit the Nature’s Gym page on this blog for information on how you can get involved.  Please let us know if you hope to come along, so that we know to bring enough tools and can fill you in on all the details.
