Wyggeston Wood Work Party

Another bunch of happy volunteers from Blaby and Leicester DeMontfort bent their backs to make a difference and put others first, cracked on with crown lifting oak trees, willow bashing or dragging out arisings, I noted first timers, seasoned campaigners and regulars. I doffed my cap to those who had helped through the years but who were now watching from above, no doubt laughing at the jokes and complaints of bad backs. 

But most of all I express my thanks to those that turn up, year in year out, to help. To make a difference. To better the environment. To create and maintain a happy place, a sad place. A place of remembrance. A quiet place. A place for butterflies, dragonflies, stoats, rabbits, frogs, snakes. A place to regain composure.  A place to keep your noggin screwed on.
