Turn up and do - Working with a nature positive focus
Join our Saturday Green Team as a regular volunteer or just join in when you can. Working in partnership with Wild Intrigue, our aim is to offer more than just litter-picks, although these are super important. We also offer activities such as nature positive maintenance of pathways and hedges along the way, tree planting and installing bird boxes.
What we do is guided by the seasons so our activities will change throughout the year. It's a great way to spend time outdoors, enjoy light exercise, and to meet others who, like you, are eager to make a positive impact on Gateshead's green spaces. Just turn up and let's make a difference together!
Each session focuses on a different area, and we usually meet on the third Saturday of each month, from 9:45am for a 10 o'clock start and finish by 12 noon! However, this can change so, please check our website and social media channels to find out the details for each meeting. We've got you covered with tools and PPE.
