On Saturday 4th December, the culmination of over 350 children’s hard work will go on display in Ponciau Banks Park.
Throughout November, pupils from Hooson and Maes y Mynydd schools worked hard with Katie Holland, the Ponciau Banks Park Officer and Keri Hargest, Coed Cymru Officer, making edible treats for the Parks wild birds to celebrate National Tree Dressing Weekend, which falls at the end of National Tree Week.
National Tree Dressing Weekend aims to celebrate the value and importance of trees by decorating them socially and publicly. First mounted in 1975, National Tree Week is UK’s largest tree celebration annually launching the start of the winter tree planting season.
National Tree Week is a great chance for communities to do something positive for their local treescape, and on Saturday 4th December, 10.00am-noon, the treats will be used to dress a tree in the Park, to provide food for the birds over the winter.
Children and their families, along with community members, are invited to come along. There will also be seasonal refreshments (small charge) in the Bowls pavilion.
