An activity with TCV Leicester Volunteers
Activity date: Tuesday 28th May 2024
Start time: 10:00
Finish time: 15:00
Activity description
We will be selectively cutting and clearing vegetation encroachment together with some self set small trees and low lateral branch encroachment. The aim of our work is to create a safe natural wildlife Forest Schools type resource for the local schoolchildren.
Meeting place
There will be a 9.30am minibus pick up for volunteers from the Victoria Park Car Park, Granville Rd LE1 7RY. Volunteers generally wait in the area close to the city council's stone lodge buildings just up from the toilet block at the London Rd entrance to the car park. Alternatively please meet with us at our office for 9am if this is easier. There is free safe parking in the Evington Park Car Park. If you require a seat on the minibus please reserve your seat beforehand by either calling 07764 655482 or email c.forty@tcv.org.uk thank you.
