Newmillerdam Project

Volunteering with Friends of Newmillerdam

The volunteers at Newmillerdam have been busy on a number of projects of maintenance and improvement around the country park that have included the reconstruction of walls and lakeside banking, revetments to reduce bank erosion, replacing displaced coping stones on the causeway and grass cutting around the car park.

If you would like to get involved with the Newmillerdam Project please contact Jeff Stimpson on 07855946177 or pop along on a Tuesday morning at 9.30am in the car park across from the Fox and Hounds Public House.

Volunteering with Wakefield Council Tree Wardens

During September to December 2010 approximately 900 native trees were planted by volunteers.

In March 2011, we received 420 British Native Fruit and Berry Trees from The Woodland Trust and young people worked closely with the Tree Wardens to create new public woodland, learning about the natural environment, developing team work skills and being physically active.

If you would like to get involved with the Tree Warden project contact Roger Parkinson on 07973421146.
