South Leeds: Digging in to help park's friends
Volunteers working to make the most of their local park had some welcome support from local PCSOs who pitched in during the latest tidy up event.
The officers joined the Friends of Rothwell Country Park to help clear the area alongside the beck and plant new trees there.
Together with eight residents and park ranger Joe Walker, they planted around 100 trees throughout the course of the weekend.
