Help create a wood at Broadhurst Park - plant a tree at FC this Saturday!

Help create a wood at Broadhurst Park - plant a tree at FC this Saturday!

Last year FC United successfully applied to Grow Wild UK for funding to transform the area outside the north stand (see picture above) into a garden celebrating the UK’s native wild flowers and trees. Because of delays with the ground handover, we missed the opportunity to plant the trees in early spring. However, with winter now upon us, the tree planting season can now begin again.

We are expecting to take delivery of 24 large trees by the end of this week. They need 24 large holes digging, the trees putting in the holes, and each tree being secured to stakes.

This is where we need your help.

We’d like to invite you to take part in the tree planting this coming Saturday, 12 December, starting at 12 noon. Bring your wellies and a spade. We’d especially like to welcome younger supporters for what should be a fun day. Although we don’t have a game this Saturday, you can still visit Broadhurst Park and help create something with a lasting legacy.

So, we hope to see you on Saturday!
