1. TASK DAYS
 

Our meeting place is at the pond behind Bramhall High School (see map on the "How to find Happy Valley" page) and unless otherwise stated, we have one task day each month on a Sunday (see dates below), starting 10am and finishing 1pm.

PLEASE come and help! Just wear suitable clothing and footwear, and we will bring any tools required.

It would be useful if we have an idea of how many volunteers want to take part, so if you are interested in helping, please let us know via the Contact Us page.
