Volunteer Session: Woodhouse Washlands

Join us from 10am – midday at Woodhouse Washlands. These sessions are suitable for all levels of confidence and are a great opportunity to see some beautiful nature reserves, get some fresh air and exercise, and meet new people. No previous experience or expertise is required, and you can join as many/few as you like.

We will carry out some light conservation tasks, such as vegetation cutting 0r litterpicking, across the site.

Please wear suitable outdoor clothing, trousers and long sleeves and sturdy footwear.

I will provide gloves and equipment and can provide waterproof jackets, trousers and suitable footwear on request.

We will have a break for tea. Tea, coffee and biscuits provided!

I can provide up to £10 reimbursement for lunch and public transport per person per session if provided with receipts. I can also offer car lifts to the sites, if asked in advance.

If you need any more information or are running late, you can contact me on m.thimm@wildsheffield.com or 07517054447. I am happy to support you with any additional support needs – please feel free to contact me regarding this.

Please meet at 10am at: Furnace Lane entrance, S13 9XF
