Hulme Green Spaces Day - April 16th 2005
HGS | 18.04.2005 17:06 | Ecology
We had a great day on Saturday, over the course of the morning around 50 people popped by to our event on the green space site opposite Hulme Post Office.
There was loads going on. We collected ten bin bags worth of litter from the site and planted a dozen herbs and small plants. We ran two Urban Explorer
walks around Hulme where people learnt about the rich and varied history within the local area.
We took a delivery of woodchip and laid it along one of the many paths on the site. We also ran a stall and opinion board where people could add their
thoughts on Hulme Green Spaces. The most popular suggestion was that we give the site a name because that would provide an identity for everyone to rally round. We had loads of suggestions but we'll most likely run a competition where people can vote for their favourite.
Such a good turn out shows that people are keen to work to protect what green spaces we have left. We'll be running events all summer so if you want to get involved please email us at hulmegreenspaces@riseup.net
