BELLSQUARR­Y AND MURIESTON YVONNE GREEN 01506 440881 MEG

Murieston Environmen­tal Group -MEG are looking for committee members as well as volunteers to help out in and around our community. “Unfortunat­ely due to personal circumstan­ces we have lost a couple of committee members over the last two years. As such we are now looking to gain a few new members, young or old, if you have time to spare every now and then for a meeting/event and maybe have some ideas you’d like to put into action we’d love to hear from you! So if you’re keen to get a bit more involved in the community and have a love for the outdoors send us a message!” Also ‘like’ their Facebook page to get additional info about the trail and volunteer days which might be of interest.
