Crabtree Fields friends’ group seeks more volunteers for tidy-up events

Volunteer group the Friends of Crabtree Fields is asking more people to join their tidy-up events at the public park this spring.

Three tidy-up events are scheduled for March and April and volunteers are requested to dress ready for hard labour.

Activities include litter picking, gardening, and watering the new plants. Tea and biscuits are on offer.
