April 22nd marks Earth Day which has been held annually since 1973. Its aim is to focus on the environment and support environmental protection. Events with an environment theme are coordinated globally across nearly 200 countries and this year’s theme is Invest In Our Planet.
Members of SI Heswall marked the day with an extra working party at Gayton Park where the club has been involved since the park was selected for a community project. The project began when an orchard and hedgerow were planted last year as part of Wirral Council’s planting program. Regular workshops with the Landscape Manager for Wirral Council and members of the three Rotary clubs in Heswall continue with further scrub clearance, planting and path laying.
