Join us for this family friendly volunteering opportunity in Hull Road Park. On Wild Fridays we aim to improve the park for wildlife by creating new nature homes, planting wildflowers, eco crafting, conducting wildlife surveys and more! Most recently we have created an insect hotel, made bumble bee homes and sown wild meadow seed. This relaxed, informal session is great for those wanting to make a difference, meet new people and get outside. The group is diverse open to additional needs and dementia friendly. During our break volunteers can enjoy snacks and hot drinks provided free of charge from the Choose2cafe (if you have any dietary requirements please contact before attending). Do as little or as much as you like, and stay for as long as you wish! Please contact the office for more details. We look forward to meeting you.

The Big Wild Play Out
With Skelton Grange Environment Centre
At Skelton Grange Environment Centre
Activity description
Research has shown that children just don't get enough opportunities to play out these days. They spend too much time indoors, lacking exercise and the chance to connect to the natural world - and their mental and physical health suffers for it. So we are inviting families to join us for a day of outdoor play. There will be time to run around and play games, to have a go at pond dipping, to explore an exciting new area of the site and take part in a bug hunt. Join in, feel good - get active! The café will also be open on the day with tea, cakes, samosas. veggie sausage rolls and more! Or feel free to bring a picnic. This will be a great opportunity to explore our new nature area which we have been working hard to improve and get ready for visitors with the support of the National Lottery Platinum Jubilee Fund. This work is nearly complete and we'll be able to explore and enjoy the woodland, meadows and ponds on the day. We are looking forward to having even more space for people to discover even more nature!
