Description

Everyone loves helping Nature! Join us at one of our sites for a Team Conservation Day. This is great for a corporate away-day, for team building, or for any group wanting to make a difference.

Bring your team for a day having fun and getting to know each other in the fresh air, while working to help the planet.

Join us at one of our sites near Kirk Hammerton, Summerbridge, or Hawes, or other sites which may be available by arrangement.

You can help us to support biodiversity by joining us to do various tasks which might include removing competing vegetation around young trees; cutting and placing mulch mats around young trees; hand pulling non-native plants and other seasonal conservation tasks.

The task will be confirmed in discussion with your team, based on what’s needed at the time.

(note: if you want to help us plant trees, that’s a winter task and you can find the dates here.)

What others say about our Team Conservation Days:
