Green-fingered volunteers needed to help plant 500 trees to createwoodland at Kirby Fields

The council is inviting residents to assist them in planting 500 trees at Kirby Fields, Cowslip Drive, Melton Mowbray between 9.30am and 1.30pm on Thursday 18 January.

The council aims to transform a 0.5-hectare site into a lush, broadleaf native woodland. The new green space will offer a haven for local wildlife, whilst also helping to reduce carbon in the atmosphere and providing a tranquil space for residents and visitors alike.
