🥾 “The hunt for the edge of the path” was the theme for June’s Task morning. 🥾

The group met up back at Callender Street, continuing to work hard to find the edge of the path, (who knew it was that wide?!) along with a few breaks to chat and enjoy cake (thanks to lovely Lynn).
Thank you again to Robert, a wonderful local resident, who kindly offered the group brews.
It’s National Volunteer Week and we are so thankful to everyone who comes along and joins the group for task mornings.

🥾 A rather lovely soirée 🥾
Last month, at the Base in Nuttall park, our phenomenal volunteers spent time together to chat, enjoy delicious food and relax as part of our “Valuing Volunteers” evening
A huge thank you to BE DELICIOUS CATERING for the gorgeous spread, to Nuttall Park for allowing us to use the Base for our event, and to Bury VCFA and Bury Council for facilitating this funding, and supporting the group with the grant application.

🥾 “The Callender Girls and Boys” 🥾
Peter, one of the group’s wonderful volunteers came up with that fantastic name, perfect to describe the area tackled yesterday!
A huge thank you to the 13 hard working volunteers who came along yesterday, and a special shout out to Robert, a local resident who came over and very kindly supplied the team with brews.

We will be returning to the same spot at 10am on Saturday 6th June to complete the task. We also held a Valuing Volunteers event recently. Keep an eye on our page for photos!

🥾 The Cobbles of Holcombe 🥾
With Peel Tower in sight, and in dry conditions, eleven enthusiastic volunteers ventured into Holcombe to tidy and improve access on two public paths. Thank you to the people walking up to the Tower, and the local residents (with many beautiful dogs) for your lovely comments and support.
We meet up on the first Saturday of every month to enjoy time outdoors, keep active and help the community.

🥾 Highlights of February’s Task Morning based in Summerseat! 🥾

-9 fantastic volunteers including someone working towards their Duke of Edinburgh Award. A huge thank you to all our volunteers for your support and hard work.
-Spotting the train! 🚂
-The plan was to clear as much debris as possible from this well used path, and the group certainly achieved this, exposing how wide the path really is without the mud and leaves. The group tackled a larger section of the path than was anticipated!
-The birds! The Merlin App was incredibly useful for identifying the various birds heard during this task. (See picture)
-The weather was kind, with pockets of sunshine ☀️

🥾 A huge thank you to the public using the path who provided kind words and encouragement, and to the fantastic volunteers who came along to help their local community. 🥾

🥾 A New Year Treat 🥾
Yesterday morning brought together fourteen fab volunteers, who tackled paths next to Nuttall Park!
🌳 Used daily by the public, this area was suggested by one of our regular members. A huge thank you to those who came along, and also to the many people who take the time to share lovely comments, whether in person or through social media.
🗓️ The group meet on the first Saturday morning of the month, with everyone warmly welcomed! 🥾

🥾 🌳 Six selfless champions worked together yesterday morning to clear one of the main paths into Redisher Wood Local Nature Reserve, a 14 hectare ancient woodland, helping the large number of visitors to easily access this beautiful area. 🌳 🥾
This special place has a delicate ecosystem, and keeping the pathways clear and encouraging visitors to use the dedicated paths, helps the surrounding flora and fauna to flourish. 🥾
The volunteers were joined again by Bury Council’s Greenspace Officer, who, along
with the Volunteer Officer provide ongoing practical and professional support to the group.
🎄 Christmas snacks were also included!🎄
Thank you to everyone who joined the group this year and to those who took the time to share lovely comments.
Our next task morning will be on the 3rd January. More details to follow!
