Activity description
Join us for our fun-filled Open Day on Saturday 6th September! Help us squeeze the last drops of sunshine out of the summer! Come along and play, explore the site, have a go at natural crafts. There will be tree identification walks as well as craft activities for all ages. Circus Leeds will be here sharing exciting circus skills, and there will be woodland play and outdoor games. The cafe will be open, selling home made cakes and savoury treats, or enjoy a pizza from our wood-fired pizza oven. There will be vegan and gluten-free options available. Entry is free but we'd love you to enjoy a snack in our cafe, explore the site, or simply make a donation - all the funds raised will support the charitable work of The Conservation Volunteers at Skelton Grange Environment Centre.

Site description
The Conservation Volunteers at Skelton Grange in Leeds have long recognised that looking after green places isn't only about caring for nature, but about caring for people as well.
Since 1992, we have used the natural environment to offer a range of education, job skills and recreation opportunities for people of all ages. Skelton Grange welcomes over 6500 people a year, including young people joining environmental education and play activities, and adult trainees and volunteers leading education sessions and conservation and biodiversity projects. This enables them to widen their experience & aspirations, reduce social exclusion and build confidence, develop skills for further training or employment, and partake in positive activities which promote lifelong learning and cohesive communities.
Very simply, every year we engage thousands of people of all ages with their local environment where they make a positive difference to their community.
