Give it some wellie: Darnley's volunteers were well up for a (mud) lark
Volunteers from the South Side of Glasgow who helped dig a pond in the Darnley Mill area might tell you that it’s no fun bein’ green, but it certainly proved to be rewarding.
The 21-strong team from the Dams to Darnley Country Park venture met up to take part in the Living Waters project run by Amphibian & Reptile Conservation.
Their muddy labours and undiminished spirits went towards enhancing one of 14 wetlands across Glasgow, and wildlife such as the common toad might just enjoy a larger environment in which to thrive.
Eddie Phillips, who is Chairman of Go Greener, the environmental group which operates in the south of Glasgow and East Renfrewshire, said: ‘It is brilliant to see so many people contributing to their local country park. This is one of many opportunities open to people to take part in improving our green space.’
Dams to Darnley Country Park has a calendar of events which can be viewed at www.damstodarnley.org. Volunteers can also call 0141 577-4053/4054.
