Geocache Description:



Not all CITOs are about litterpicking! Come and help clear invasive leaves at Backwell Park.
Sunday 19th November, starting at 10.30m.

Besides pumpkins, fallen leaves are the icon of autumn: they're absolutely everywhere. Usually, they aren't an issue, but the Backwell Playing Fields Charity (BPFC), who manage the park, are looking for volunteers to help clear the leaves. Because of this, they have given us permission for this CITO to take place.
What's the issue?

Usually, leaves that land on the ground decompose into the soil. However, there are a large amount of trees on this side of the park, and this in turn means a large amount of leaves, which accumulate quickly around, and begin to block, the car parks, play area and the road to the football club.

We will be helping the BPFC to pick up these leaves before they combine with rain/snow and become mulchy, slippery and generally unpleasant, or blow into the adjacent A road. Following feedback from the landowner after last year's event, the main driveway and car park will prioritised for clearing this year. Also, if there are enough attendees, we need to remove dangerous spiky conker shells which fall near to the children's play area.

This will be an hourlong event; scheduled to start at 10.30am and should end by 11.30. It can go on for longer if need be!
Please bring rakes, garden brushes, spades and gloves if you can. Anyone with a leaf blower would be a godsend! We will supply you with a green bag to put the leaves in- they will go to local allotment plots. If you want to collect your own leaves for your personal compost supply, by all means do.

A logbook and trackable swap box will be available.
Hope to see you there!
