Gardening
We are looking to recruit a team of volunteers to help to develop and maintain our new ‘Woodland Walk’ area at Stephenson Steam Railway. The ‘Woodland Walk’ is an ambitious project funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund which aims to develop a current brownfield site adjacent to the museum into a green space to be enjoyed by visitors and the local community.
Many local community organisations and schools are already involved in the development of the site and now we would like to recruit a team of volunteers who have an interest in gardening and site maintenance to ensure that the space thrives.
Regular duties would include tending to the plants and vegetable gardens, seasonal planting, weeding and pruning and general gardening maintenance. Occasional duties may include participating in wildlife surveys and working with the Learning and Engagement teams. We would like to recruit a group of people to come together regularly on Wednesdays.
What skills do I need?
No previous experience is necessary but an interest and enthusiasm for gardening is a must. All PPE and health and safety training will be provided.
Reliability and happy to work outdoors
