Hands on for Habitat Heroes
Hands on for Habitat Heroes is a partnership between the Federation of City Farms and Community Gardens, the North Region of the Co-operative Membership and host farms and gardens. Inspired by the Habitat Heroes programme on Co-operative Farms, it provides an opportunity for Co-operative members and the wider community to get involved.
The aim is to work together to improve habitats for protected and endangered species. Each event will be free with locally sourced lunch and refreshments provided.
