Funding has been secured for improvements to Browick Recreation Ground in Wymondham, starting with a mini-forest of 700 saplings.
£20,000 of funding has been secured to revamp Browick Recreation Ground in Wymondham. The first phase will create a 'Miyawaki mini forest' using a Japanese planting method, with around 700 saplings to be planted. The project is funded by a £10,000 grant from South Norfolk Council's Nature Conservation Fund, match-funded by Wymondham Town Council.
The mini forest forms part of wider refurbishment plans for the recreation ground. Additional improvements will include extending the skate park, adding a multi-use games area, constructing a trim trail, a new path and a picnic area. Two derelict buildings on the site are also set to be demolished as part of the upgrade.
A spokesman for Wymondham Town Council said the project aims to help 'create a greener, more biodiverse Wymondham for future generations', and thanked South Norfolk Council for supporting the scheme and town councillor Annette James for preparing the successful grant application. Work is expected to begin later this year.
