Aberdeen City Council is looking for volunteers to help develop and nurture the Seaton wetlands project tomorrow.
The countryside ranger service is organising a wildflower planting day at the amenity.
The wetland, which was created with a major programme of works, is embracing recent environmental changes in the park which have meant areas of flooding.
Rather than battle nature, it was decided to create a man-made wetland surrounded by natural plants and a wooden viewing point.
Dozens of volunteers turned out for the first planting event in July, adhering to a plan to let the wildflowers establish themselves before water levels rise over the winter and spring months.
Tomorrow morning, pupils from Riverbank School will augment the planting and, in the afternoon, volunteers are invited to join in from 1pm to 3pm.
Council leader Jenny Laing said: “The Wetlands will be a great asset for Seaton Park and, once all the plants have become established, it will be a tranquil place with an abundance of flowers and reeds.”
Countryside Officer Ian Talboys added: “The wetland area has been designed to help manage the water in the park and provide an attractive feature for people and wildlife.
“It already attracts many birds and insects, but, by adding the wildflowers, there will be an extra splash of colour at the entrance to the park – these will be great for butterflies, bees, hoverflies, dragonflies and a host of other wildlife.”
Places can be booked by phoning the service on 01224 326429 or emailing countrysideranger@aberdeencity.gov.uk
