Why it's a great idea
Because it will create awareness of this fantastic NEWLY created SUDs (Sustainable Urban Drainage System) to the Enfield community and beyond.
More importantly it will provide many schools that border Firs Farm with an educational resource on their doorstep.
It is after all to be celebrated that is is the biggest of its kind in the UK !
Steps to get it done
- Hiring the stage
In the current council financial climate and their ever increasing budget constraints this will enable more volunteers to learn about and to come together to help look after their Green Space
