Testimonies:
‘A huge thanks to PEA for supporting our woodland bulb planting at Central Park Wooded Valley this winter. They brought a great group of volunteers
who helped the valley come to life and supported them to do the job professionally.’ Zoe, Natural Infrastructure Officer, Plymouth City Council.
‘This was my first time working with PEA and I was really impressed with how enthusiastic, friendly and hardworking the volunteers were. We had a great day at Forder Valley - one of Plymouth’s hidden green gems, an incredible nature reserve hidden behind a busy main road, home to buzzards, newts and even the rare Plymouth Pear Tree. The site has been in need of some work to get it back into good nick. We got lucky with the weather and got stuck into removing parrot feather from the pond and clearing bracken from the meadow (some more stuck than others). We managed to get loads of work done. The site now looks much more cared for and the pond and meadow are now much better places for people and wildlife.Thank you so much for all of your help, looking forward to day 2!’ Kieran Shaw-Flach, Active Neighbourhoods Trainee.
‘It was great working with Plymouth Environmental Action. They were an enthusiastic and hard working group who came with all of the tools and kit needed to do the job. We got lots of work done on the day with them, which will benefit the rare butterflies found on the site. I would have no hesitation in working with them again and would recommend them to other organisations.’ Simon Phelps, Conservation Officer, Butterfly Conservation
'What a great job you did with the volunteers yesterday and thank you for the thoughtful and professional manner in which you approached the task. The volunteers achieved so much in a short space of time and that is testament to the positive and encouraging atmosphere you create at events. It was wonderful to see the work going on in the pond area and we heard that a number of positive comments were received from park users. We hope everyone enjoyed the day and it was great to see some new faces.' Andrew Clanfield, Natural Infrastructure Officer, Plymouth City Council
