Seeds of Change: Green Skills at Stretford Meadows

Session 1: Welcome to Stretford Meadows

The Details

Join us for the first Green Skills session being held at Stretford Meadows as part of our Seeds of Change programme, where you will learn a range of green skills, from seed, to tree, to woodland.

This session will begin with a tour of Stretford Meadows to familiarise you with the site we’ll be working on through the project, and learn about the habitats on-site, an introduction session to the programme and its content, and then we’ll dive straight into collecting tree seeds to kick things off.

This session is for young people aged 16-25, looking to learn new skills, gain experience in the environment sector or just to try something new! If you have any questions or would like any more information, contact Nina at nina@cityoftrees.org.uk.
