Today the group had a busy day. The Sherburn Road site was revisited and worked on with the group completing footpath maintenance before going on to explore the Houghall walk and environment.

Today the group discovered how to plant young trees in an effort to preserve and develop the Burnhope site. This event allowed the group to understand some of the successional and ecological planting and development of sites such as Hackworth Park and Hamsterley

Today the St Johns group worked on the community project garden at Sherburn Road. The group are helping develop this garden site for the local community to visit and enjoy utilising those plants and materials already discovered

Today the group learned 'land preparation' skills which can be used as the group continue to work at developing and maintaining the Hackworth Park area.

today the st johns group completed some of the 'heavy' work needed on the hedge and footpaths at Hackworth Park, Shildon. Hard work that tested the group. Well done for making a difference lads!!

Today the Bishop Barrington group completed the portrait exercise in Hamsterley Forrest. This is where the students have to discover for themselves any materials for making a portrait of staff or themselves in the area. This could be mud, stones, leaves, twigs or feathers etc. A very successful event. Well done everyone!!

Today the group took over from the good work the earlier group had done on the 'never ending' hedge at Hackworth park completing valuable hedge maintenance and development. Many people came up to the group and thanked them for the work they were doing making it easier for people to negotiate the paths into the park. St Johns cleared the area of prunings and piled them up ready for recycling

Today the group returned to the 'never ending' hedge at Hackworth park completing valuable hedge maintenance and development. Many people came up to the group and thanked them for the work they were doing making it easier for people to negotiate the paths into the park
