Tools will be provided or you can bring your own 😊
The footpath MLAV2 will be reinstated through Community Park, linking up with the permissive footpath, with a view to applying for funding to make the footpath from Grove Road to Ladywood accessible to all.
Positive community involvement is essential for funding; it is a question most asked in funding applications.
Throughout October there will be group sessions, weather permitting, to clear the route. Sessions will be Saturdays and Sundays 11-1, apart from the 18th and 19th other times by arrangement. Tools can be provided but initially anyone handy with a strimmer, chain saw and rake will be very welcome. A handy reminder will be displayed on the village notice board and on Facebook from time to time.
To celebrate National Tree Week there will be the planting of 105 hedging whips to denote the footpath edge, to aid biodiversity and mitigate climate change. These trees have been donated by the Woodland Trust. It is planned that local children will be involved in the planting taking place on the last weekend in November. Any Groups interested in taking part with both the reinstatement or the planting please get in touch we will be very pleased to have your help.
Devizes Library will be celebrating Tree Week with the help of the Tree Council and the Tree Wardens with lots of tree themed activities for childrent and books to read.
There are many plans for the future in Community Park, with the next stage being levelling the area next to the orchard for ball games and community events, but not necessarily both at the same time!
