"Incredible Edible Marple" Task Day with M.E.S.S.
A special task day was held with Marple Energy Saving Strategy (M.E.S.S.) to kick off their "Incredible Edible Marple" Project by planting 20 Wild Harvest tree saplings provided by the Woodland Trust in the park. These comprised a mix of Hazel, Blackthorn, Crab Apple, Elder and Dog Rose, some of which can be harvested for jams or left to feed the local birds and wildlife.
We also (eventually) reinstalled a picnic bench that had previously been taken out for repair after vandalism - this "small job" turned out to be more difficult than expected due to one of the existing bases being big enough to build a small house on!
