A massive thank you to my volunteers for once again stuffing A LOT of barley straw into sausages to go into Hall Pond and the Lake to help to control algae growth this Summer. This is a really important task and we really appreciate all the hard work they put in to help us maintain the park.

If you are interested in joining us then please do get in touch by emailing Ranger Emma Towers - [email protected]

As always, our wonderful volunteers have been working hard to improve the park for everyone to enjoy. We carried out a litter pick managing to collect 11 bags of rubbish between 4 volunteers, we've removed some invasive laurel within the woodland - an ongoing battle, planted some trees, spruced up Hall pond and we've even helped Leeds Coppice Workers in the hazel woodland.

If you're interested in joining us, new volunteers are always very welcome so please do get in contact 😀

I just wanted to say a big thank you to the fantastic volunteers who have helped with the Middleton Park Estate Volunteers over the past year! I've really enjoyed working with you all and I'm sure you'll carry on doing amazing work in the Park! Emma Towers will be taking over as your Countryside Ranger again from now on😊

Our task day yesterday was creating barley straw sausages to put into the pond. As it rots down it will release a chemical which helps to stop the algae growth and make the pond better for wildlife.

Thank you to the wonderful volunteers who have helped to cut and rake the meadows in Middleton Park this year!

It is really important to cut and rake away the arisings to reduce the nutrients in the meadow so the thicker vegetation like nettles and thistles don’t outcompete the more delicate flowers and grasses we would like in the meadow.

About Us

The Middleton Park Estate Volunteers meet for a Ranger led practical task once every 2 weeks. We work on various conservation tasks to help improve the park for its visitors and its wildlife. We tend to meet outside the Visitor's Centre at 10am and we keep going up until 2pm usually but you can stay for as long or little as you are able. We are very keen to gain new members to help us out around the park so if you'd like to find out more please do contact me. You can ring me on 07891 277108 or email me at [email protected]. We look forward to hearing from you Ranger Emma
