Conservation Work - Past

Bowling Park Community Orchard

Bowling Park Community Orchard

As Apple Day approaches, we need to finish attaching an awning to the food area at the orchard. We also need to harvest the fruit and cut the meadows using scythes and sickles, before mowing. 

 

Please get in touch if you'd like to come along. All help appreciated.

Baildon Moor, Bracken removal.

Baildon Moor Car Park - if you go past Baildon Co-op and over the cattle grid, take the first left onto Bingley Road and the car park is on the right some way along the road. Google Maps does show it if you look up Baildon Moor.

We will be doing our last session for the year of bracken removal on Baildon Moor using traditional tools such as sickles and scythes. 

Despite the lifting of restrictions, the YMCA are sticking with people bringing  their own drinks, snacks and packed lunch until cases ease.

If you need to borrow boots just let us know the size you need.

Our Aviva crowd funder has enabled us to provide Covid safe taxis and if you let us know beforehand we can book them for you. We can also pay transport costs.

We are now able to provide transport for up to four people besides the driver in the minibus at present, so do let us know if you may want this option. We would meet at Culture Fusion or pick up on the way. 

Please get in touch if you would like to join us.

Trench Meadows

We will be going to Trench Meadows rather than Baildon Moor this Friday, as our minibus needs fixing and as well as fewer tools access is easier. The address is; Trench Meadows. Higher Coach Road. Baildon. BD17 5RH. A while after Titus Salt School school the road narrows and becomes a dirt track. We will meet at the entrance gate to the meadow by the track. For those taking public transport, the 626 bus from Bradford stops in Shipley and outside Roberts Park and you walk to the end of Higher Coach Road, the meadow is at the end. From Saltaire train station you can walk through Roberts park and turn left onto Higher Coach Road too.

We will be removing Himalayan balsam as it is encroaching on the site.
