Last Saturday, Dec 14th, we had a small gathering in the park to celebrate the opening of the Earth Trail, which is now installed on posts around the Langley end of the park. it was opened by James Hunt, the Mayor of the Town Council, pictured here (right) with Emily Andrews, of Andrews Massey Duo, (left) who composed the music for the trail and Chris Sunderland, the author and narrator (centre). James welcomed the installation and recognised that it might actually be unique. Nowhere else, as far as we know, has such a trail, telling the history of the Earth to words and music.

Claire Hazelgrove, our MP, could not join us on Saturday but sent a message to the gathering in which she complimented Friends of Emersons Green Park, on their ‘passion and imagination for reconnecting communities with nature’ and described the Earth Trail as a ‘truly beautiful initiative’. Thank you for those kind comments, Claire.

If you haven’t listened to the trail yourself yet, why not take the time over the Christmas holiday and treat yourself.
