Join us on Friday 31 May, 10am to 1pm to collect the seeds of woodland ground flora plants such as bluebells, wild garlic and wood anemone from populations in Deepdale Wood Nature Reserve near Barnard Castle.

These spring flowering, woodland plants are very important food sources for our wildlife as it emerges from winter hibernation.

As part of the Tees-Swale: naturally connected programme we are collecting seed from these plants to grow on and plant into recently created woodlands across Teesdale which currently lack a diverse assemblage of nectar rich plant species.

We aim to monitor and trial the success of introducing these plants into newly created woodlands, hopefully contributing to self-sustaining woodland ecosystems capable of supporting greater biodiversity.

This is a family friendly volunteering opportunity. All children must be supervised by an adult.
