Pilrig Park woodland clearance day: 14 December

FOPP

If you are interested in helping to improve an already wonderful park then please come to a woodland clearance day on Saturday 14th December.

It will start at 10.30am: meet at the small play park at the north end of the park.

It should finish around 1.00pm: Friends of Pilrig Park hope to sooth you with mulled wine and roast chestnuts once the hard work is over.

It would be great if you could bring any bow saws, loppers or secateurs that you may have. But there will be some tools on hand for you to use.

Also, please download and display this poster.

Great news!

This is your chance to make a real difference to Pilrig Park and become a ‘friend’:

A Friends of Pilrig Park group has been pulled together to help improve its facilities and make it a fantastic space for all of us to enjoy. Much has been said about the shortcomings of Pilrig Park, notably the lack of bins and benches, and the mystery trees, but If you think that with improved coordination with the Council and increased input from the community the park can be turned around and you are willing to lend a hand, then look no further.

If you would like to be involved in the group, put forward any suggestions for changes or improvements, or just be kept informed of our progress, please contact Sophie Brown at friendsofpilrigpark@gmail.com.

A discussion about a forthcoming public consultation on Pilrig Park will also be on the agenda at our next meeting on 25th February, so please join us if you can.
