CUB Scouts have planted wildflowers in a conservation area in memory of two former Scout leaders.
The Cubs from Heighington Baden-Powell Scout Group worked on Wednesday evening to plant native wildflowers and install bat and bird boxes at the memorial copse and wetland at Heighington playing fields.
The copse was planted in memory of two long-serving leaders, Andrew Muckley and Natasha Wilson, who both died last year.
Akela Sharon Marshall said: "We planted a lot of bulbs in the spring which looked beautiful and so the next step is planting the wildflowers which are all native to England.
"After that we're hoping to plant a small bog area which will attract lots of wildlife."
The bird and bat boxes were made by the Scout group with the help of countryside officer Malcolm Thompson.
* The memorial copse and wetland is having a grand opening on Sunday, June 12, between 3pm and 6pm at the Heighington playing fields.
Stalls, entertainment and a dedication of the memorial copse and wetland by vicar Philip Thomas is planned.
