Today, on an overcast morning in our north east region in Scotland, one of our activists, Dave, was out volunteering with the local park Ranger, planting trees. These trees will eventually grow to fill a gap between two wood blocks and give local wildlife places to live, feed and even travel. Its not just birds that need this but squirrels and even the two frogs that were found today.
At a time when local services and spending are being cut up and down the nation, it often falls to people to volunteer their time and skills to help plug the shortfall. This is where community politics comes into its own, getting involved, helping out and making a difference in the real world, no matter how small.
You cannot properly represent your local community if you aren’t prepared to get involved, help out, and know what they need.
