A group for 14 - 18 year olds who wish to learn some practical conservation skills, improve ecological knowledge, and enjoy the outdoors.
About this Event

In this session we will be  continuing our work with  the Going Places project. We will be working on collage/printmaking activities. We will create a collage poem inspired by objects and themes on the site. The poem will inform the artist who will be working on the Den.


The Den will feature in an exciting new touring exhibition on the theme of Green Spaces, Shared Places which has been co-created with young people. The exhibition will include collections from Sunderland Museum & Winter Gardens and its national partners along with local stories, specially created artworks and displays. Going Places is an Art Fund led project funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund and Julia Rausing Trust.


Join this group of young volunteers and get some hands on experience of managing a nature reserve and recording the wildlife. You'll gain new skills and get involved in conservation tasks including surveying, planting and painting tasks during these sessions.


These volunteering hours can count towards a Duke of Edinburgh Award or can be recorded as work experience on your CV, plus you’re helping to do your bit for the environment!


Please dress for the weather and bring suitable waterproof clothing. Wear sturdy boots/footwear.


Activities across different sessions may include:



  • Hand tool use
  • Painting
  • Planting
  • Grass cutting and raking
  • Litter picking
