Torridge District Council is encouraging residents to embrace the outdoors and make a difference as part of their New Year’s resolutions by volunteering at Northam Burrows and other local sites.
The council has launched its volunteer recruitment drive for a new programme of conservation projects at Northam Burrows, Gatefield Community Grassland, and Kenwith Valley.
This year’s plans include diverse nature conservation tasks, with a particular focus on two tree-planting sessions at Gatefield, where 1,000 trees will be planted.
The first project of the year begins on Wednesday, 8 January, with wildflower meadow management at Gatefield.
Other key dates in the programme include:
Councillor Cheryl Cottle Hunkin, Lead Member for Culture and Community Engagement, said: “It’s great to see this new programme of volunteering events put together by our rangers, which will help care for our lovely country park and local nature reserves.
“It’s such a brilliant way for people to learn new skills and get closer to nature, as well as a lovely way for the community to get to know one another. I hope people reading this will be inspired to get in touch, get outdoors, and join in with this important work; what a great way to start 2025!”
All volunteer events are free to attend and typically run from 10am to 3pm.
Equipment is provided, but pre-booking is essential.
For more information or to book, residents can email northam.burrows@torridge.gov.uk or call 01237 479708.
