Mill Park Reserve - Long Buckby Green Spaces

This Saturday we'll be down at Mill Park for our weekly volunteer session between 9:30-12noon. Why not come down?

This week, Muddy Toes will be joining us, providing hot drinks and snacks to our volunteers at 11am.

A lovely morning working on the wildflower meadow. Thanks so much to our volunteers who came down.

Lots of our volunteers come down weekly, however once a month we run our family volunteer sessions, where Emma from The Outdoor Club CIC and Muddy Toes groups brings hot drinks (and plenty of cake!). It’s a great chance to meet others locally, and enjoy spending time at the beautiful Mill Park Reserve.

We’ll be back on November 18th 9:30-12:00 with more tea and cake.

Join us tomorrow 🌿

Date for your diary: Saturday 16th September

September 16th is our special “Wildflower Meadow” volunteer morning at Mill Park Reserve between 9:30-11:30am. Can you spare an hour or two?

We need all hands on deck to help us clear the meadow and prepare the ground ready for next year’s beautiful blooms. We’ll need shovels, rakes and perhaps a bucket or two, too.

We’ll make sure there’s plenty of tea and cake to say a big thank you 😀

Mill Park Reserve is celebrating after receiving this year’s Green Flag Award! It is testament to the hard work and dedication of the team that care for the green space so that everyone can enjoy it.

A big thank you to all our volunteers and supporters (past and present) who have helped nurture this much loved village haven for people and wildlife alike.

We're looking forward to welcoming you along to our next volunteer morning, tea and cake all provided :-)

We’re looking forward to welcoming our local community down to Mill Park Reserve for our volunteer morning on Saturday 15th October.

Is there something in particular that you’ve set your sights on helping with?

Perhaps, it’s supporting the regeneration of the wildflower meadow, clearing some of the waterways or helping to refill the bird feeders.
Maybe, it’s having a reason to get outside into our local spaces and see what goes on and how you might help. Either way, we’d love to see you there!

We’ll post a few reminders nearer the time, but for now, why not pop your favourite thing about the special spot in Long Buckby below. We’d love to know what’s special about the place to you.

This October we will…
Raking up leaves from the path areas
Clear nettles from the wetland area
Support the ecosystem in the river by clearing debris and foliage
We will support the regeneration of the meadow by digging out grass clumps and re sowing a variety of seeds for next year
As autumn is here, we’ll be maintaining bird boxes, tidying the butterfly garden as well as putting up new willow wigwams
The final job for October will be restocking some of the Northamptonshire stones.

We would love any help with these tasks, whether you have 20 minutes or two hours. We’d love for you to come and say hello 👋🏻

And, did we mention there’ll be cake?? 🍰

Protect and restore nature in England Nature in England is in crisis. But Conservative leadership candidates are threatening to scrap one of the most fundamental protections we have to safeguard nature and wildlife. Tell the UK government to keep the Habitats Regulations and supercharge nature restoration.
