Quarry Bank has a variety of habitats that are managed according to a long-term plan for their conservation. You can help with conservation tasks in all of our habitats including removal of invasive species, vegetation cutting and clearing, creating wildlife habitats, gardening, weeding and hedge-cutting. There will also be opportunities to try something a bit different on taster sessions offered by our partners.
Green Academies Project Youth Rangers
If you live in Wythenshawe and are aged 12-18 get involved in working outdoors and build a connection with wildlife through our Youth Rangers sessions. The Youth Rangers meet on the third Sunday of every month from 10am - 2pm. As a Quarry Bank Youth Ranger you are helping towards the conservation of this beautiful National Trust estate. Throughout your journey as a Youth Ranger you will have the opportunity to learn new skills, improve your knowledge of local wildlife, make new friends and most importantly, enjoy being outdoors!
Your commitment to helping nature and protecting our special places here at Quarry Bank will be rewarded. Once you have completed six sessions of volunteering you will receive a Quarry Bank Youth Ranger hoodie and after completing nine sessions you will receive a certificate of achievement and a wildlife ID guide.
Training and advice from National Trust staff and our partners will be available to help you get the most out of your experiences and we welcome participants from all backgrounds and abilities. Travel support is available.
