Find them down by the petanque terrain
It's getting towards the end of tree planting season for this year but we might be able to squeeze a few more in 😄

New addition to the park - the Friends have just completed a new "dead hedge" at the top of the orchard.
This is another step in our aim to support and optimise wildlife and biodiversity in the park. The dead hedge provides hiding places and nesting habitats for all sorts of creatures, as well as food for insects.
Thanks to Leeds City Council for leading the works.
