We are delighted at this calendar celebrating the park, all photos are by our excellent photographer Philip Orme. Even better not only will you support Carlton Rotary but also ourselves when you buy a calendar.

Many visitors have remarked that the swans regularly approach them and are concerned they are suffering from a lack of food. The converse is the case as the pair of swans are regularly fed throughout the winter with a diverse mix of grains recommended as suitable for wildfowl.
Volunteers have cut some trees & shrubs near the lower lagoons. This has been a reluctant but necessary operation to ease the exit flight path of Swans & large wildfowl leaving the lagoons. Via have kindly offered to remove the Willow blocking the lagoon’s alternative exit route.
This weeks Tuesday volunteer session will continue tomorrow as planned, hope to see you there but wear your wellies, it's very wet at the moment
