We do a nature-based activity using natural materials e.g. willow weaving, ivy baskets, flower balms, sleep mist, hapa zome, hair conditioners, nettle cordage, cooking on the fire. Described by some of attendees as their calm in the storm of both menopause and life!

    Practical Conservation - 2nd and 4th Sunday of each month

    With York Practical Conservation - Weekend

    At TCV York Office (THCC)

    Activity description

    We run practical conservation tasks in various locations in York and the surrounding area from 10am-4.30pm on the second and fourth Sundays of each month. Transport is provided from Tang Hall Community Centre and the University Library bus stop on University Road. No experience necessary. The work varies from season to season. In winter you could be tree planting, hedge laying, or creating and maintaining ponds and wetlands; whilst in summer you could be constructing wildlife areas in schools, creating footpaths, making hay, or undertaking invasive species control. If you want to get involved in practical work outdoors, learn new skills (or share old ones!) and work with a fun and friendly group then come and join in.

    Plant surveys and thistle clearance

    With Bedfordshire Environmental Action Team

    At Sundon National Grid (Chalton)

    Activity description

    We have just started a new long term project at this brilliant little site, to improve biodiversity. As we're in the early stages, our first few months are concentrating on recording what's on site now, and keeping on top of the plant species that would otherwise take over - mainly thistles. So our sessions are a mix of scything, raking, and walking over the site to survey what's there. Something for everyone!
