The Parks Trust is calling on the people of
Milton Keynes to pull on their wellies, wrap up warm and lend a hand on its
annual Make a Difference Day, which will be held on Saturday 22nd
October 2016.
This year, help is needed to plant spring
bulbs at Willen Lake North between 10am and 12noon. Those keen to take part
should meet staff from The Parks Trust at The Labyrinth maze at the north of
the lake at 10am.
Volunteers are asked to dress for outside work
with relevant footwear, and bring gardening gloves and a spade or trowel – all
other equipment will be provided. Free parking can be found at Willen Pavilion
car park.
Carla Boswell, Volunteer Coordinator
at The Parks Trust, said: “The work of our volunteers is vital to ensuring
Milton Keynes’ green spaces remain beautiful and inspiring places for people to
visit and enjoy – we simply couldn’t do it without them!
“However, we know that there are
those who would love to come and help but can’t commit to regularly
volunteering, which is why we so hope they will join us for our Make a
Difference Day.
“It’s a great opportunity to spend
some time outdoors and enjoy the autumn season, while also helping us complete
an important task before the weather gets cold.”
