This week is Refugee Week, which takes place every year around World Refugee Day! 🧡

We will be highlighting some of the wonderful groups that we have the pleasure of working with as part of our Green Futures project. One of those is Bradford College’s ESOL class 🙌

Through gathering feedback on how the sessions with us went, we wanted to share these lovely quotes. Connection to nature is so important to our well-being; it gives us respite from the challenges we face, and a moment to press pause.

First collection of the year at Craven Auction Mart earlier this week!

A staggering 67 bags went off for recycling at Tubex, with at least another 50 or so ready to be sent down ♻

This is the most collected by this hub in one collection so far! An amazing effort for everyone involved, and a whole lot of plastic out of the environment 🥳🌳

The UK’s green economy is growing fast - but a lack of skills is holding it back. At YDMT, we’re helping tackle that challenge head-on through our Rural Apprenticeship scheme 👥

The scheme helps address rising youth unemployment by creating real pathways into meaningful, future-focused work. It equips young people with the practical skills needed to thrive in environmental careers - restoring landscapes, supporting communities, and maintaining green spaces 🌱

Our apprentices gain hands-on experience in real-world conditions, building the confidence and capability employers need.

We work closely with host organisations throughout, providing support with recruitment, training, and mentoring, so taking on an apprentice is straightforward and rewarding.

We’ll soon be looking for new apprentices to join our scheme later this year, and we’d love to hear from organisations who are interested in offering apprenticeships in the future!

Find out more here 👉 www.ydmt.org/apprenticeships

We’re grateful to players of Postcode Lottery for providing long-term funding for our apprenticeship scheme – and giving more young people the chance of a brighter future.

This week, volunteers have been attending botanical ID training ahead of this year’s meadow surveying season 🌸🌱

Some of the volunteers attending are involved in our Homes for House Birds community meadows, so this training will support them in carrying out baseline surveys for these sites. This means we will be able to work together to come up with a monitoring and restoration plan which will help increase habitat and food suppliers for these iconic birds 🪱🪰🪶

A huge thank you again to for donating these supplies for this project - head down to their new branch in Skipton if you are looking to make your own quadrat!👏🏼
