Each year we liaise with WDC to see how we can improve areas of the Fields, either by removing litter, clearing brambles, pruning lower branches of trees, revamping flower beds, planting bulbs or renewing hedgerows. Any mechanical work that needs to be done is carried out beforehand by WDC contractors, then volunteers from Friends of Abbey Fields set to work. It is amazing how much you learn as you work and it is very fulfilling to know that you have contributed to an area that has been worked on.
