Join us for a day collecting the seeds of woodland ground flora plants such as bluebells, wild garlic, and wood anemone from woodland populations throughout Teesdale.

There are three opportunities to volunteer to help – Monday 1 July, Thursday 1 and Friday 30 August, 10am to 1pm, (the finish time may be earlier depending on the weather). Children must be supervised by an adult.

These woodland plants are very important element of woodland ecosystems, providing food sources and habitat for wildlife. 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.
