Volunteers are wanted to help repair storm damage to a Glasgow park this weekend.
Locals have decided to take action after the damage caused to Victoria Park by Storm Éowyn.
Over 20 mature trees fell or suffered major damage as a result of the storm, some of which were between 60 and 70 years old.

Following the storm, Friends of Victoria Park (FoVP) and the charity Victoria Park Community Trust (VPCT) have developed a plan to plant new trees.
Through donations, and the help of Glasgow City Council, they have successfully purchased 30 new trees.
These are set to be planted on Saturday, March 29.
An artist has also arranged to carve some of the fallen trees into sculptural pieces.
Steve Nelson, chairman of the community trust, said: "Thank you to all those fantastic folk who have donated to our fundraising effort to purchase new trees for Victoria Park.
"We want to see as many people as possible helping us with this vital job, which will ensure our park continues to be a peaceful and beautiful resource for everyone in Whiteinch, Scotstoun, Broomhill, Thornwood, and Jordanhill."
The trust is inviting volunteers to help with the planting, which will start at 11 am.
Volunteers are invited to meet by the cafe and toilet block at the west end of the lake to be given instructions.
Boots or strong shoes and outdoor clothing are advised, as well as any available gardening gloves and spades.
