Connect 2 at Watermead Park

Children from Eastfield Primary School took part in a litter picking challenge in Watermead Country Park - with the help of a team of Newfoundland dogs.

The challenge, involved children from the school, and the Newfoundlands who train in the park, and took place on the paths around King Lear’s Lake. The children and volunteers collected litter, which the dogs then carried along the paths using small draught carts.

These paths are among those being improved as part of the £1.4 million Connect2 project which won a share of £50 million lottery money last December in a TV vote.
