#WansteadPark litter pick report from Lucy Dawes - "We had 13 litter pickers out and we sold lots of knitted ducks .... There were a lot of people who had come to see the bluebells and knew very little about the Park and its history so we had some useful conversations."

Gill James on today's Spring Walk - "We had a lovely walk today with 15 attendees. There was lots to talk about, Richard came armed with lots of laminated illustrations, and we finished off with an enjoyable chat with refreshments at the Tea Hut. We even made a new member and sold a book. "

Don't forget - our free Spring walk will take place this Sunday.
