While most Burdekinites were in weekend mode last Sunday, a group of Ayr-Home Hill Lions volunteers spent several hours at the Lions Fruit Park in Home Hill giving the mango trees a much-needed trim.
Volunteers Sam Harris, Lisa Corica, Rhondda Ware, Lynn Hutchings, Dan Bawden, Chris Goodwill and John and Jenny Donald worked steadily throughout the day, carrying out the first major prune the trees have had in years.
By day’s end, seven trailer loads of off-cuts were transported to the local dump for disposal.
The surrounding lawns were also mowed as part of the manicure, leaving the park noticeably refreshed.
“We all agreed that the fruit park looks a lot better after the trim and mow,” a club spokesperson said.
The working bee concluded across the road at the Lions Diorama, where volunteers enjoyed celebratory scones and coffee.
The work represents one of the many voluntary efforts carried out by the longstanding local service club across the region.
