Wimborne Swifts
Swifts have always been a feature in our skies above Wimborne. Their distinctive screams as they zip around the Minster, across the square and neighbouring streets, but their numbers have dwindled and they NEED OUR HELP.
Come and help plant native trees next to the Bridleway by Ainsley Road.
Parking available at the Wimborne Town Football Club. Look for the Gazebo with the Wilding Wimborne Flag.
Bring gloves and, if possible, a spade, too.

Trees for Wimborne
Trees for Wimborne considers that it is important that our town plays its part in contributing towards the need for more trees across Britain. We would like to see an increase in tree numbers with the aim of attaining a minimum of 20 % canopy cover in Wimborne and the surrounding areas. We believe that these trees will create multiple benefits: mitigation against climate change, provision of habitats for wildlife, a more interesting landscape reflecting the changing seasons, and as a joy and comfort for those who live, work and visit Wimborne.
Wilding Wimborne will be there.
Tickets to all events £10 per adult, £5 for children. Under 4's free Sorry no dogs allowed on site. Tickets available on the gate.
Why not bring a picnic? Scrummy tea and cake available
