Bracknell

Bracknell Forest Borough Council’s parks and countryside rangers will be working with volunteers to clear up a pond and woodland around Allsmoor Lane in Martins Heron.

The volunteers - from Allsmoor Action Group, Bracknell Urban Wildlife Group and Take Pride - will take part in a litter pick, brook clearance and general tidy-up of the area.

Parks and countryside rangers regularly support local conservation groups and will be supplying the equipment to help the volunteers safely clean and tidy the area.

Take Pride is a campaign run by the Council and Thames Valley Police, and encourages residents to volunteer and improve their communities. The Council can supply a wide range of equipment to residents including litter pickers, graffiti wipes and even speed indication devices.

Cllr Iain McCracken, Executive Member for Bracknell Leisure and Corporate Services, said: Conservation volunteers across Bracknell Forest make a huge difference in ensuring our open spaces can be enjoyed by residents and provide valuable habitats for local wildlife.

I would like to thank these volunteers for their continuing hard work and dedication to the upkeep of our borough.”
