Join the Friends of the Don Valley Way as we work to clear in and around Meers Brook close to Plowright Drive.

On the day we will be meeting at 10am and finishing at 1pm. We will complete a risk assessment on the day to ensure the safety of all volunteers. We will be stopping half way through for a tea break. On the day you will need to bring appropriate outdoor clothing and sturdy footwear. We can provide wellingtons and waders however we won’t be able to provide footwear for every volunteer.

If you are not yet signed up as a volunteer please email [email protected] to become a volunteer. We will be following all Government guidelines in relation to COVID 19 at the time of the event.

Join us in Queen’s Park for this year’s DCRT summer celebration!

To say thank you to our all volunteers that have been with us this (and last!) year we would like to invite you all to our picnic in the park.

If you would like to join us for this event please find details below.

Join DCRT & the Friends of Spital Cemetery for a bat walk through the cemetery and along the nearby river.

We will be looking for different species of bat, using bat detectors to hear their fantastic calls (which the human ear cannot detect!) Watch and learn how these incredible nocturnal predators hunt for prey and navigate around the landscape.

Limited spaces: Please book a space through our EVENTBRITE page

We will meet at the Tool House (53.232169, -1.415337) which is a short distance inside the cemetery from the top gates (53.232770, -1.414984). Parking is available on Cemetery Road and inside the cemetery along the avenue of lime trees which lead from the Top Gates to the Chapels. Please wear sturdy shoes. Children are welcome but must be accompanied by an adult. 

This walk is free but donations to the work of the Friends of Spital Cemetery would be gratefully received.
