Ladies dig deep to mark International Women’s Day in Gedling Country Park

A group of ladies from across the borough braved the cold yesterday to plant a tree in Gedling Country Park to mark International Women’s Day.

Councillor Roxanne Ellis, who has been leading Gedling Borough Council’s promotion of International Women’s Day, was joined by Sarah Manton, president of Nottingham City Women’s Institute and Gedling-based members of the group to plant the tree to mark the occasion. Fellow Cllr Peter Barnes and rangers from Gedling Country Park were also on hand to lend support.
