Wildwood Days Men’s Group

This is a weekly volunteer group aimed at men wanting to improve their mental and physical well-being. Every Thursday afternoon we will be tackling a different practical conservation task from drystone walling, to dead hedge creation, tree-planting, log store construction, site maintenance and more. All tools and equipment are provided and plenty of help and support is provided so you will learn some new skills along the way. Each session will also involve a break for a brew and a slice of cake. On cold days we will get a campfire going and toast a marshmallow or two.

The practical tasks will be led by Peter Roworth, a local landscape gardener. The sessions are relaxed and informal – you do not have to attend every week.

The sessions are free to attend but you must register your interest here (by buying a free ticket on our website). A maximum of 20 places are available each week. The sessions are funded by Chorley council’s community grants fund and the Red Rose responding fund and we are hoping to obtain continuation funding so we can run the group all year round. If you are able to donate a small amount towards refreshments or equipment costs that would be much appreciated.
