Posted: 24 Feb 2003 The Friends of Brickfields Country Park were formed in 1992 by a group of local residents wanting to become involved the furtherance of a local amenity. Associated to Blackwater Valley Countryside Service and operating under license from Rushmoor Borough Council as part of the Parks Department, we perform varied conservation tasks from rubbish clearing to building new paths and habitat management. The park is used on a regular basis by local schools for nature studies and is open everyday of the year, so please help us to keep the park tidy. FBCP welcome involvement from the public as occasional volunteers or members. Work parties are usually held in the park on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of the month from 1:30pm onwards, meeting in the center of the park at the picnic area. No special skills are needed, just some strong footwear!, and a willingness to contribute to your environment. The work covers many topics from pond clearance to path building and more, we are insured for public liability, tools are provided and safety is covered before starting. For further details and information see http://www.brickfieldspark.org and task dates and events see http://www.brickfieldspark.org/datessetup.htm Updated 19/5/2005 Brickfields Park - "Fur & Feathers" Wildlife Fun Day.
