BTCV : CVNI : Tree Campaign

BTCV's Spring into Action is in full flow. To mark the start in Northern Ireland there was a special event at Cave Hill Country Park on 2 May. The event was a celebration of the completion of the park's path restoration with refreshments in the zoo afterwards!

There are still plenty of ways to get involved - find your local Spring into Action opportunties.
