Yaxley Countryside Volunteers at work The Yaxley Countryside Volunteers have been in existence for well over thirty years, work in partnership with Yaxley Parish Council and aim to make Yaxley a better place This year we have, like many other groups been restricted in our activities by Covid. However there have been some successes. Last autumn we planted on behalf of the parish council some 1,600 bulbs at the top of the REC between the Poplar trees to provide some colour in spring and summer. Work has also taken place behind the pavilion
where we planted a small area with a wild flower mix. At the bottom of the Rec is the community orchard, which is in its second year and is maturing well. Work is also planned for Willow Pond in the Rec too we hope to scrape out the bottom of the pond and remove some growth that currently exists.

The volunteers have been busy during August making hay; they assisted the parish council in cutting the grass in the older churchyard the hay was donated to the local riding school. We have also carried out work at Pound Lane cleaning up the area around the pond; cutting the grass and giving the benches a timely clean.
