Bristol Parks Forum
Bristol Parks Forum is the umbrella organisation for community park groups and organisations in the city with an interest in their local parks and green spaces.
You can find their website here In the Meetings section you will find the Minutes of previous meetings and the Agenda for the coming meeting.
Strictly speaking it is the group that is a member of the BPF, though they are happy to add several people from each group to the mailing list. Also anyone from the group is welcome to attend BPF meetings, though strictly speaking there should only be two representatives from each group. We would only need to restrict our numbers if the meetings became too popular!
Currently we have four Friends of St Andrews Park (FOSAP) interested in BPF, but it is an open group and you would be welcome too.
John Mayne, Simon Randolph, Jo Corke, Steve Perry.

Watering Trees
Great that we are actually having some summer weather this year! But the severe dry spell is causing some issues; a particular concern is for some of the more recently planted trees.
John Atkinson from the One Tree Per Child Project says that despite all their newly planted trees being on a two-year watering schedule some of them are really struggling and need extra help.
The message is:
- Please water your local trees, particularly younger ones that may be struggling
- Don’t put yourself in danger – careful crossing streets whilst holding buckets etc.
- Grey water eg dirty dish water is fine…
