Effective Organization: The Manningham Council meticulously planned and organised the event, ensuring that all logistical aspects were well-coordinated. This included selecting a suitable location for tree planting in Ruffey Park, arranging for the necessary tools and materials, and providing clear instructions to the over 150 participants!
Community Participation: The event garnered strong participation from the local community, including students, families, scout groups, and individuals of all ages. This widespread involvement showcased the shared concern for environmental well-being and a desire to actively contribute to a greener future.
