Peaks Conservation
For one of the conservation tasks, we will be heading out to Blacka Moor Nature Reserve to carry out scrub clearance in partnership with the Sheffield and Rotherham Wildlife Trust.
Blacka Moor is a beautiful 180-hectare moorland and should offer a
satisfying day’s work. Currently the largest and most spectacular of
Sheffield Wildlife Trust's nature reserves, the site has been recognised as a Site of Scientific Special Interest (SSSI). The site is teeming with
wildlife, from wild red deer to hares, foxes, badgers and weasels.
A great host of songbirds call the moor their home - so our birdwatcher's might be a little distracted! Meet at 9:00am outside the SU.
There will also be a foraging walk task to take part in, led by Student Eats, to Endcliffe Park and Forge Dam. Here you will seek out what's available and edible at the start of Spring. Meet outside the SU at 11am for an 11.15am departure.
Another opportunity is the Student Eats allotment task. At 1pm we will be going to the Student Eats allotment and basically doing what needs doing - details to be announced closer to the time/on the day! Find out how we have grown as an allotment, what challenges we have faced and what our future plans are.
When?

Each of our sites promises a satisfying day's work (plus tea, coffee and biscuits!),
