In the mean}me, FOMD are keen to enlist volunteers for their ongoing noncommitment
weekly one-hour cleanup sessions to remove
30 years of harmful neglect before reintroducing and enhancing Rowlands Dell's nature with
woodland focused hard/so昀琀 landscaping and a
huge programme of plan}ng from August onwards. In the 30 consecu}ve sessions so far,
we have removed 230 binbags of harmful
li琀琀er, heaps of damaging dominant Ivy and an
astounding amount of assorted debris ranging
from ma琀琀resses to rubble. Any help will be
really welcomed.
