Lady Brook Spring – Springtime Planting
Darren Rolfe, the WSCC Community Solutions Officer, is coming back to Fulking on the 26th January 2015 to undertake some tidying and clearing of the site to get it ready for planting in the springtime. If you can help on the day, volunteers are extremely welcome. Also if anybody has any ideas on planting, please can they let me know.
At the PC meeting last week it was agreed to have logs/tree trunks in front of the spring to provide a barrier and stop vehicles cutting in towards the spring this could also be used a seating. It was felt that planting should only be behind the spring to enable access to three sides.
