🐿Have you seen the town's new willow sculpture?🐿
The Town Council worked with local students from @BMetC Sutton Coldfield on their Industrial Placement.
Designed by student Ella, the sculpture can be seen on the roundabout at Walmley Road/Thimble End Road/Elm Road.

Take a look at these great photos by @TheBrumReaper from CoCoMAD 2022, that took place last weekend in @CotteridgePark!
It was a fantastic turnout, the rain didn't stop the fun 🌳💚🎉🥳 Congratulations to all of the volunteers that helped to make it such a wonderful event.

We've had a busy few weeks! We attended Frankley Carnival in June, then CoCoMAD on Saturday for the launch of our Glacial Boulder Trail 2 - Around Bournville and Cotteridge Park.
Many thanks to the event organisers, our wonderful volunteers and all those who came to visit us!

This is great news @NaturallyBirmi1!
We are working with BCC Ecologist, Wildlife Trust and BCC Parks to look at where a change of grass verge management can happen across the whole city as part of the City of Nature / Nature Recovery Stratergy. To increase diversity of species and support pollinators.
