Skylarks
The Green Team’s Skylarks monthly programme is open to girls and non-binary young people aged 12-18.
Join our Skylarks programme and enjoy spending one Saturday a month in beautiful outdoor places, learning about nature and making improvements for wildlife. The programme runs once a month on Saturdays throughout the year with some weekend residentials.
Skylarks is about having fun experiences in the outdoors, making new friends and a positive difference to the environment.
The programme encourages positive wellbeing through environmental volunteering, gentle nature connection and spending time with others, promoting confidence and the development of outdoor and social skills.
Skylarks also supports the achievement of the JAS Award, Volunteering and Skills sections of the DofE Award, and John Muir Award.
More about Skylarks
Projects are led by the Skylarks Project Co-ordinator and are supported by adult volunteers. In a safe and supportive environment, girls can just be themselves, exploring and experiencing new things without fear or anxiety.
We provide tools and equipment, waterproofs/boots if required and full safety instructions for the task ahead. Transport is provided by minibus from a central location.
The Green Team also runs a Skylarks for Schools programme. Meeting once a week over the school term, the group works together to make practical improvements to greenspaces and take part in a range of activities that help to develop skills and build confidence and resilience.
Costs for the monthly Skylarks programme are £16 (or £4 for a low-income household). There are free places available, please get in touch with Heide if you would like to join in but can’t manage the costs.
