For our next workday, Marion Farrell from the environmental charity Groundwork will be working with us clear encroaching trees and undergrowth on the Matlock - Rowsley greenway, an important part of the White Peak Loop. We will also rake up and brush leaves from the tarmac sections. Meet 10:00 at Harrison Way, Darley Dale (first left off the A6 after the Shalimar restaurant, also on the left, if you are travelling from Matlock; first right off the A6 after the Beeley turn if you are travelling from Bakewell - this is the road to the recycling plant DE4 2LF and Peak Rail's Rowsley South station). We will work from there southwards along the trail, finishing at 13:00 latest.
Marions adds:
Come in sturdy footwear and old clothes. Bring a waterproof and a drink. Groundwork will supply all the equipment, tools, gloves and chocolate biscuits etc. (although secateurs and shears might be a useful addition). To take part you need to be an adult - no special experience or skills are necessary as all health & safety training will be covered by Groundwork - just bring your enthusiasm! If you need any further details please do not hesitate to contact Marion Farrell (Groundwork) on 07801122494 or by email mfarrell@groundwork.org.uk
See you all there!
