About the event

Durham Wildlife Trust is working with The Green Team at the Parish of St John Boste to help develop habitats across the grounds of a range of churches.

Through conservation volunteer days and youth engagement initiatives, the group aims to generate a group of volunteers to act as guardians for the grounds while at the same time helping to improve its habitats and access.

Ongoing works include improvement of the grounds to encourage natural development while improving access.

Sessions will be designed to accommodate volunteers of all levels of experience and expertise and will be facilitated by members of the Durham Wildlife Trust.

All sessions will be fully resourced by the Trust and will include training of appropriate tool use and ongoing explanations of the environmental benefits of the tasks and their ultimate aims.

Attendees must dress appropriately for outdoor tasks, and factor in the weather on the day. The task time includes a break for lunch.
