We are creating a 12.5 acre nature reserve, planting hedges/trees, moving gravel. We run sessions for young people and their parents/carers, creating that first step back into the world. We work with neurodivergent young people that can’t access school and may otherwise be isolated at home, hot having a place they can go to or belong to. Www.theland.org.uk

The Land have a lot of roading planings they need barrowing and raking to surface their path and car park. Should be a good work out.

Needed: gardening gloves and enthusiasm. Meet at the task, then stick around for more fun Habxy/Wigginton based tasks throughout the afternoon.

For completionist: to fully embrace the Haxbingtonfest spirit please join us for a further two tasks around Haxby and Wigginton immediately after this one.
