No experience is needed—our volunteer leaders will guide you through the tasks, and all tools will be provided. Just bring suitable outdoor clothing and enthusiasm!
Children are welcome at this session but must be supervised by a parent or guardian at ALL times. The supervising adult remains responsible for their child’s safety and behaviour throughout. We’ll do our best to include child-friendly tasks where possible, but some activities and tools may not be suitable for younger participants.
This activity is organised by our new roving Friends of Somer Valley group, bringing people together to care for green spaces across the valley. We’re supported by Midsomer Norton Town Council, Radstock Town Council, and Westfield Parish Council.
