It's now been four happy, muddy and very productive years over which our Land Army volunteers have been supporting and learning from Greater Manchester's organic farmers. And this summer is as busy as ever! Just a few weeks ago we ran two Team Challenge Days for University of Manchester employees, which were loved by the participants and hugely appreciated by the farmers. The teams helped to regenerate a pond area, cleared a mass of brambles and, at our new FarmStart site in Stockport, mapped out a herb area and started preparing an area of outdoor growing space.
Over the summer we've got a bunch of Land Army trips planned, starting with Saturday 11th July at FarmStart Abbey Leys and Thursday 30th July at Glebelands City Growers.
New volunteers are always welcome so come along and get your hands dirty! And if you work for an organisation that wants to give something back to the local community then get in touch to find out more about our Team Challenge Days.
