|November 12, 2025
A COMMUNITY litter-pick and bulb-planting event organised by Bovey Tracey Town Council has been hailed a success with scores of volunteers turning up on the day.
-
The willing army gathered in Mill Marsh Park last Saturday and wasted no time getting on with the jobs in hand.
Some donned hi-vis jackets and marched off around town to clean the streets while others got down on their hands and knees to plant more than 1,500 native bulbs including daffodils, snowdrops, bluebells and fritillaries
The happy band, made up of people young and not so young, included 10-year-old Myri Hearthwood, a pupil at Bovey Tracey Primary School.
She was getting stuck in as part of her civic award activities.
