Uppermill Community Association clear unstable trees

Work has continued on the viaduct woodland project. The main task before the breeding season begins is to clear unstable trees from the area and thin out the smaller saplings in preparation for the introduction of native trees and shrubs later in the year.
Getting involved in volunteering in the local environment is a great way of meeting other locals, enjoying some healthy exercise & fresh air, with a well earned hot drink and biscuit at the end!
They are always pleased to welcome new members to join us and help make Uppermill an even better place to live. For anyone interested in joining them on future project days our upcoming programme is as follows :-Apr – Thursday 19, Apr – Saturday 28, May – Thursday 10, May – Thursday 24

UCAN would like to thank CRT (Canal and River Trust) and Tesco volunteers for their continued support.
