Greenfield Valley celebrates Volunteers' Week with event
The Flintshire attraction, run by the Greenfield Valley Trust and Flintshire County Council, is thanking the people who give their time, energy, and skills to help preserve and enhance its natural beauty, heritage, and community spirit.
Helen Mrowiec, countryside sites team leader, said: "Volunteers' Week is our opportunity to shine a light on the people who quietly make a big difference.
"Our volunteers bring passion, kindness, and a deep sense of care to everything they do.
"We simply couldn't do it without them."

More than 2,300 volunteer hours were donated to Greenfield Valley over the past year, helping to preserve and restore heritage structures, support wildlife and habitat conservation, host events and seasonal activities, and provide enriching experiences for visitors.
Volunteers also serve as trustees for the Greenfield Valley Trust.
As a gesture of appreciation, a special 'Cuppa and a Cake' event will be held on Thursday, June 5, at 11am in the community garden.

In case of wet weather, the event will move to the volunteer room in Basingwerk House.
A spokesperson for Greenfield Valley said: "To all our volunteers, past and present, thank you.
"Your time, compassion, and hard work are deeply valued and felt throughout the Valley every day."
