Fifty wildlife warriors have been out building bird boxes and hedgehog homes at an Ipswich park.
Orwell Country Park ran an Ipswich Borough Council Wildlife Homes event at Braziers Meadow on Friday for children during the half-term break.
Children and parents also planted trees, in addition to making the decorated bird and hedgehog houses that will be installed around the Ravenswood Estate and Orwell Country Park.
Cllr Phil Smart, Ipswich Borough Council portfolio holder for environment and climate change, said: “I trust the many birdbox and hedgehog houses painters enjoyed themselves at Orwell Park in this activity arranged by our Wildlife Rangers.
"The results look very colourful. I hope they are others will be back for the next activities that Ipswich Borough Council arrange in our parks.”
