Broomage Greenspace - Final Touches Make The Difference
11 April 2008
Improvement work at Broomage Greenspace is complete with the new paths and tree planting making a huge difference to the area.Local people, who have been actively involved in the project, can now enjoy their new-found greenspace.
At the launch event on 1st April, 20 children from Larbert Village Primary School helped celebrate the project by planting wildflowers around the young trees in the new woodland to add extra colour and interest. The event was attended by Councillor Gow, Leader of Falkirk Council, who showed her support for the project by formally opening the site.
On 9th April, 20 members of Larbert Pentecostal Church conducted a litter pick, clearing the site of 15 bags of unwanted litter. There was also a fun side to their involvement with the group helping to plant wildflowers, this time wetland species, along the banks of the burn.
The project will have positive benefits for the wider community, creating an attractive area of greenspace for local people to use and enjoy. Through their active participation local people have shown their support and interest in the project, which we hope will ensure the site's use and protection in the long term.
This project has been funded by Falkirk Environment Trust, Scottish Natural Heritage and Falkirk Council.
