The project encourages people to use the natural greenspace that runs through the neighbourhoods of Seacroft, Gipton, Halton Moor, Osmondthorpe, Burmantofts and Richmond Hill in East Leeds.
The Council and its partners run a range of activities throughout the Wyke Beck Valley with people of all ages including guided walks, activity days looking for wildlife, school visits and volunteering days.
Natural England’s access to nature programme is the main funder for this three year £500,000 project that started in November 2010. Partners include Leeds City Council, the Wyke Beck Valley Community Forum, Groundwork Leeds, The Conservation Volunteers (TCV), Leeds Ahead and Voluntary Action Leeds.
