GREEN fingered volunteers are being asked to put on their gardening gloves and help give the former colliery site at Bickershaw a facelift ready for spring.
The bulb planting event will take place next Wednesday, October 29, and anyone wanting to help should meet at the Smiths Lane entrance at 1.30pm.
All tools as well as hot drinks and biscuits will be provided but volunteers are asked to wear warm and waterproof clothing.
This is one of a series of events taking place between now and christmas aimed at improving the site for people and wildlife.
