Celebrating the Launch of the Wetland Arc Project, why not get involved in tree planting to create a wood meadow in Old Wolverton?  Leave your legacy, protect and improve the environment in adapting this grazing field to become climate resilient. 

You'll be helping us for a session of planting native trees, enhancing our park's beauty, boosting local wildlife habitats. No experience necessary, just enthusiasm.
