A Job Lot

Loughborough Park is a "Site of Importance for Nature Conservation" in recognition of its importance not just for wildlife, but also for people to enjoy access to nature.

Local residents and communities are now working to deliver a programme of improvements which will secure the park's future for all ages, interests and abilities to enjoy.

Our task today was to cut back and prune a large, invasive bush which was dominating a mound in the middle of the park and stifling other growth. There was a lot of it, but we took to the task with a variety of gardening tools; it took us an hour and a half, but we did an amazing job clearing the central area.
