  • Work Party at Croft Close Set-Aside

    Abbey Fields have organised a series of work parties at Croft Close Set-aside in Histon. All work parties will have a mix of activities, from light trimming to heavier manual work so there should be something for most.

    We start at the Croft Close entrance to the Set-aside.

    Please register in advance by emailing sitemanagers@abbeyfields.online . This allows us to let you know if the work party has to be cancelled, and also to ask you, if you can, to bring specific tools to suit the planned tasks.
