Fancy a holiday?

We hope you all had a wonderful festive season and are settling into the New Year. As the deluge of rain batters against the window, the mind has a tendency to partake in a bit of holiday day-dreaming.

To give you a bit of inspiration, every year the ranger team on the Northumberland Coast host two working holidays and 2016 will be no different! It is always a brilliant week and in the past it has even been sunny (not to tempt fate).

Restoring paths in the dunes

 

Help to keep our coastline special by spending a week working in dunes and coastal habitat. Get stuck into a variety of conservation tasks from scrub clearing, to meadow management and path restoration.
