Autumn Litter Pick

Litter Pick this Sunday

Sunday 19 October at 10:00 - Meet at White’s Field Car Park

The Greening Chinnor autumn community litter pick will take place on Sunday 19 October.

 

We meet at Whites Field car park at 10:00 and split into groups where a walk leader will guide you on some of Chinnor’s most popular footpaths and bridleways. There are varying lengths of footpaths to be cleared so if you can only spare an hour, there will be a walk for you. We plan to finish by 12:30 latest.

Make sure you bring suitable clothing including gardening gloves (or similar) and suitable footwear.

As you will have read in the Parish Pump the Chinnor Branch of the Royal British Legion's  (RBL) have a WW1 Memorial Tree Planting Project. The aim is to plant trees for the villagers who are listed on the Chinnor and Henton war memorials who lost their lives 1914-1918.

Greening Chinnor are pleased to be involved with this project and together with RBL and the Parish Council are organising a tree planting working party on the 26 October. There will be 9 trees planted at several different locations in Chinnor and one in Henton. We are looking for volunteers to help with the digging and planting.  If you would like to get involved please email me and I will add you to the working party and send you details of the locations.
