Club Environmental Activities - January - March 2024

Rotary Club of Loughborough Beacon

Crocus Planting

Planting 'End Polio Now' crocuses at the Arc Community Hub, Loughborough. 

So cold...only the most intrepid!

Litter Picking

Members of Loughborough Beacon joined the North Leicestershire Litter Wombles (NLLW) on a chilly morning to litter pick at/around Derby Road lay-by (Lisa's Cafe). 

About 10 people there but not all were present when we took the pictures. NLLW are a terrific group - join your Wombles group wherever you are.

Rotary Club of Huntingdon Cromwell

Snowdrop Bulb Planting

Huntingdon Cromwell have been busy planting bulbs again at Castle Hills on Huntingdon inner ring road. This time we helped Huntingdon Town Council Estate Services team plant 2,000 snowdrops in just 1 hour.  

These add to the already impressive snowdrop display at this historic site.

Rotary Club of Leicester De Montfort

Tree Planting

On a bright early spring morning seven substantial fruit trees of heritage varieties were planted by members of the Club and Knighton Wild, in Knighton Green, close to St. Mary’s church.

The project was funded by the award of a District Environmental Micro Grant, with the balance of expenditure contributed by Knighton Wild.

Thanks go to Adam’s Apples of Cullompton and Goscote Nurseries of Cossington for supplying heritage apples trees and a local plum tree respectively.
