City of York Council is working with The Friends of Hob Moor to celebrate the event on Sunday when people of all ages are being asked to help plant hedgerows on Hob Moor between 10.30am and 12.30pm. Council rangers and York Tree Wardens will be helping to plant the hedgerows, and all tools will be provided.
