Reclaiming the woods: local children helping improve local area
08-JUN-06
In an attempt to make their area safer and to attract more wildlife, local
residents took part in a clean up of a wooded area in Horwich on Saturday
3rd June. Adults and children of all ages from Brazley Avenue and Poplar
Avenue worked together as a team collecting litter and generally cleaning up
the area at Brazley Culvert.
Free refreshments and litter picking equipment were provided by Action
Earth, an organisation which provides grants to assist groups in carrying
out environmental projects. They also provided certificates to all residents
who participated.
The day was organised by Bolton at Home and Groundwork following
consultation with local residents identifying the need for environmental
improvements to make the area safer, attract more wildlife and to address
problems of fly-tipping.
Tree sculpturing work was also done as part of the same project to enhance
the woodland area and make it more interesting for local people to enjoy.
