A volunteer tree- and shrub-planting day will take place at a new wildlife haven in Bishop's Stortford on Monday May 24.

Participants will be helping to create a "wet woodland" at Northgate End as part of East Herts Council's Old River Lane revitalisation plans for the Causeway.

The area – which has been cleared of scrub in conjunction with de-culverting of the old River Stort – is next to the site of the council's new 546-space, six-level multi-storey car park and a four-storey building with business use on the ground floor and 15 flats above.
