Volunteering is a great way to meet other people, have a go at a new skill or help others to learn a skill, to be active outdoors and these monthly Tuesday sessions provide a space for you to have some time out in the woodland; all of which are known to improve wellbeing.
The tasks will require participants to be able to walk along the uneven and sometimes steep woodland footpaths, be willing to have-a-go at a variety of tasks, be willing to spend time with like-minded people and spend some of the session making a cuppa and eating cake...or a healthy snack if preferred!
Tasks can include woodland maintenance, such as coppicing, path repairs and clearing, rhododendron pulling, sign maintenance & litter picking. Tasks may also involve helping to care for Shining Cliff hostel, the hostel in the woods.
The session meeting point at 12.30 tends to be at the private woodland car park in Shining Cliff woods, or at Shining Cliff hostel, and you will be sent directions on how to get to both places on booking. The session will end at 2.30pm at the car park, or at the hostel which is an 8 minute walk from the car park area.
