At YDMT, we strive to work alongside members of the local community, creating opportunities to connect, learn and engage, with nature, people and our local landscapes.
Through our Community Conservation projects, we offer training and volunteering opportunities in a range of areas throughout the year, including meadows, woodlands and house nesting birds projects.
Learn more about each of our Community Conservation projects
Seed to Sapling
The Seed to Sapling project will help increase species diversity of trees in the Dales by growing native saplings from local provenance seed.
Wildflower Meadows
We support the creation of community meadows and wildlife patches and run a wide range of activities to help people understand and look after grassland habitats.
Pollinators
We work with farmers, landowners and communities, to protect our pollinators by tackling habitat loss and monitoring populations.
Tree Community
We're working with communities in the Yorkshire Dales to help set up, develop and sustain our first tree growing schemes.
Homes for House Birds
The Homes for House Birds project is enabling communities in the Yorkshire Dales to save four of our iconic house nesting bird species – House Martin, House Sparrow, Starling and Swift.
