GREEN fingers are getting to grips with the Weymouth, Mass., Relief Road, transforming its bare slopes and cuttings.

Most recently, hawthorn, blackthorn and various wild rose species have been planted on the Lorton Lane Green Bridge, and hazel, oak, ash, wild cherry and willow species are being planted alongside the road in the Lorton area.
County senior landscape officer Tony Harris said: ?EUR??,,????'?????<?We?EUR??,,????'?????<???EUR?ve been careful to select native species of grasses, wildflowers, shrubs and trees as it will make a big difference to how the road is seen and blends in with its landscape setting as well as maximizing nature conservation interest.

County area grounds manager Iain Hewitt said: ?EUR??,,????'?????<?Over the next two seasons there will be a considerable amount of landscaping work to be undertaken, especially on the other green bridges and around the park and ride site.
