To update Members on the progress of the ‘Clean and Green’ initiative.

Committee was updated on the progress of the Clean and Green initiative. The initiative supports the Councils corporate vision of a greener, safer, healthier Broxtowe where everyone prospers and to protect the environment for the future. Officers had been engaging with schools and community groups to deliver small urban rewilding schemes around the Councils parks and open spaces. These initiatives included planting around 80 trees at Hetley Pearson Recreation Ground, 3000 native spring bulbs at Leyton Crescent Recreation Ground with the support from pupils of Beeston Rylands Junior School, Incredible Edible Community Growing Group and Beeston Wildlife Group and The Friends Group at Brinsley Headstocks Local Nature Reserve introduced native woodland plants into some young woodland.
