A Celebration for Two Mile Ash on the
Afternoon of Saturday 23rd April
The Two Mile Ash Bluebell Circuit is now fully open and its use is steadily increasing. Its centre-piece is that 11m footbridge but this 750m recreational way offers far more.
Working with our partner, Milton Keynes Parks Trust, TMAEG volunteers have been enhancing the Circuit, through the insertion of new sections of all-weather path, the upgrading of older paths, and tree and wildflower planting. You can download a map and read more about this project in a new section of the TMAEG website www.tmaeg.org/bluebell-circuit/
Preparing the way for a new wildflower bed on the eastern bank of the stream. The area has since been seeded with a 22 species mix appropriate to this part-shaded spot.
Five months on from the completion of the footbridge, we are now approaching Bluebell Time and the time is right to celebrate this new public amenity.
View of Circuit from the Bluebell Wood, towards the bridge and the Green Ride beyond. Also shown are some of the 65 new trees planted along the path.
Our Celebration on Saturday 23rd April will provide an opportunity for attendees to recognise fully the contributions made by our partners and our volunteers to this project, to view the bluebells at their best and to enjoy light refreshments and a get together.
Our chief guest will be the Deputy Mayor of Milton Keynes,
