Could you help make
local history this weekend - through just an hour or two of your time?
Through the Platt's Wood
Project, descendants of the local Platt family are creating a community
woodland of 5 acres that we can all use for generations to come: a real act of
generosity towards and for the local community. And this Saturday, 6th
December, there a mass planting of 1,400 trees scheduled at the site at the end
of Oaks Avenue, off Ridge Top Lane (SK22 2JU for those from a little
further afield). And they're inviting us all to help get the project off to a
great start.
The aim is to
develop a woodland for community use, which includes shaded and open
areas, biodiversity, a wildflower meadow, paths and seating which we and our
descendants can enjoy for decades to come. Can you be part of this mass
planting and be able to say 'I helped plant that woodland'?
The activity runs from
10.00 'til 4.00 o'clock. Go along at any time. Bring a spade and, obviously,
sturdy, warm clothes (the forecast is cool but dry). There'll be free hot
drinks, cakes and snacks to help sustain you. Everyone will be very welcome,
children especially (they'll be the long tem beneficiaries). Sustainable
Hayfield is supporting this great local project, of potential benefit to us
all. We hope you can give a little of your time to help 'launch' our new local
wood.
