We’re incredibly proud of our Milliken team of volunteers who gave their time and energy over the last two days at The Meadows!
The Meadows in Appley Bridge is a vibrant community space managed by the Appley Bridge Community Association. Once an industrial site, it’s now home to allotments, a community orchard, and a wildflower meadow - complete with walking paths, seating, and nature trails. It’s a welcoming spot for locals and visitors to enjoy nature and relax.
Over two days, our associates rolled up their sleeves and made a real difference. Across the site, they gave the allotments a complete refresh, clearing paths, litter picking, strimming overgrown areas, mulching trees with bark, and helping to make the space more accessible and enjoyable for everyone.
In the woodlands, a team carried out coppicing work and built a dead hedge to protect the hedgehog conservation area. The team also built a brand new bug hotel from scratch! Amazing work everyone!
