Our next dates are as below. New volunteers are always welcome! If you are interested in coming to an activity please contact one of the listed co-ordinators to say so, and to confirm details (there may be a last-minute change). We usually meet at the activity location at 10 a.m., but for any given date the co-ordinators will confirm the plan and may be able to advise on transport options. Ordnance Survey grid references are given below where possible.
- Sunday 22 January 2023: Hedgelaying, Middlewood Way. Today we’ll be out with the Cheshire East Rangers to do some hedgelaying (always a rewarding and popular activity!) along this great walking and riding route which follows the path of an old railway line. Co-ordinators: Helen (07969 614332) and Mike (07801 418703).
- Sunday 19 February 2023: Hedgelaying, Middlewood Way. As last month, more hedgelaying! Co-ordinators: Julian (07957 355468) and Elaine (07986 686526).
- Sunday 19 March 2023: Longford Park, Stretford. Activity and details to be confirmed in due course. Co-ordinators: Harry (07501 377247) and Gary (07768 278371).
We’ve had a slow-down in activities lately due to being a bit short on the co-ordinating side – but it’s great to see people out and about again so please put these in your calendars and come along if you can! 🙂
General information
New members are always welcome!
All of SMCV’s one-day activities take place on Sundays. The sites at which we work are in and around Greater Manchester; you can arrange with the co-ordinators to make your own way to a site and meet us there, or we’ll try to arrange shared lifts when possible. If you want to come to an event please contact the co-ordinators to say so, and to confirm final arrangements. If you have questions about the group or the work we do, please contact us here or contact any of the co-ordinators listed on the programme. Please also contact us if you would like to be added to our e-mailing list for reminders of future activities.
Usually, we have a weekend away three times a year in the Peak District National Park doing a full weekend’s conservation with the Peak Park Ranger Service. We haven’t re-started those weekends since the advent of COVID, but might be able to do so in 2023.
