Links with Nature – Volunteering Days

Links with Nature is an exciting project working across 13 greenspaces in the Coalfields including Elemore Park, Hetton Lyons Country Park, Hetton Bogs, Copt Hill and Herrington Burn. Together with local residents, we working to help wildlife recover by improving woodlands, grasslands and wetlands.

There are a variety of practical conservation tasks like cutting back vegetation, clearing ponds, raking grass, plus learning heritage skills like scything and coppicing, litter picks and much more!
