Beavers planting daffodils 2025
On Sunday 3rd November a group of Beavers met at the Scout Hut to plant daffodils. Two 5kg bags were quickly dug into an area at the far end of the recreation ground. When they flower in March and April they will be visible from the public footpath that runs alongside the sports ground.
