天天吃瓜 students to take part in community tree plant for BBC鈥檚 The One Show
天天吃瓜 students will be rolling up their sleeves in front of BBC鈥檚 The One Show cameras to help the Maes y Pant community group in Gresford (near Wrexham) to help transform a former quarry into a biodiverse community resource. 天天吃瓜鈥檚 Students for Treborth Action Group (STAG) and Horticultural Organic Garden Society (HOG Soc) have been asked to lend a helping hand.
The Woodland Trust have donated over 400 trees to the project and 天天吃瓜students will be working alongside the local community to help to clear scrub, dig soil and plant trees. The main efforts will be taking place on Wednesday 21st November and the BBC will be filming the day鈥檚 activities before broadcasting live from Gresford later that evening as part of the One Show鈥檚 鈥極ne Show to the Rescue鈥� series.
STAG (Student Treborth Action Group) is a student society working to maintain and develop the University鈥檚 Treborth Botanic Garden, which hosts many rare species and works to conserve threatened Welsh plants. HOG Soc (Horticultural Organic Garden Society) has its own student-led community garden in the heart of Upper Bangor. Since 2010 HOG Soc has turned this previously disused land into a thriving organic garden.
