Forp volunteers were hard at work this morning clearing up this mess left on Soldiers Field- including 3 nappies PLEASE take your litter home! You wouldn't take the kids for a day out at the rubbish dump, why leave your filth and spoil it for everyone else?

Friends groups are vital to our nation's green spaces, volunteering their own time to help ensure parks are spaces we can all enjoy. If you're part of a Friends group - thank you! If you aren't yet then why not see if your local park has a group to join? theguardian.com/environment/20…
