Friends of Bedfords Park


The next work day of the Friends of Bedfords Park, takes place this Sunday, the 9th August. If you would like to come along and help, just turn up at 10.00 outside the visitors centre.

The previous work day in July involved the pruning of some Giant Knot Weed by the walled garden so that it can be treated with herbicide by the council when it starts to regrow.

In the afternoon they cleared some of the paths around a couple of the ponds to the south of the park near Lower Bedfords Road. These paths were initially cleared by us about three of years ago. Although they are used by some dog walkers there is not enough 'traffic' to keep them completely clear.

One of the ponds was completely covered in duckweed whilst the other was clear of it. They also collected various items of 'litter' while we were walking around.
