Activity description

Our wildlife surveying programme kicks off with our first spring amphibian survey, timed to coincide with the breeding season for frogs. This is a free event and a great opportunity to learn surveying skills and meet some fascinating amphibians. This is an evening survey as the work is best done by torchlight! Please arrive at the time stated for an introductory session. Wrap up warm as we will be outside and keeping still! Bring a torch if you have one, although spares will be available at the 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.

Further info

Please be aware that there is currently a security cabin and gate about halfway along Skelton Grange Road. This is for the waste-to-energy site next door to the Environment Centre. If you travel by car they will probably note the vehicle registration, ask for the driver’s name and where you are going (tell them TCV). It is simply to keep track of traffic entering and leaving. If you are walking down you can go straight past. Essentially, don’t be worried when you see it, you are going to the right place! FAQ Q: Is there free parking available? A: Yes, there is no charge for parking in our car park, and we have lots of space. Q: Is the site wheelchair accessible? A: The site is accessible to wheelchairs with a mix of mown grass and woodchip paths. However, if the weather has been very rainy there can be muddy sections that people who use wheelchairs might find difficult. Q: Are dogs allowed? A: We only allow assistance/guide dogs on TCV sites. Q: How do I contact the Centre? A: You can call the Centre on 0113 243 0815 or email any queries to skelton@tcv.org.uk
