Online Talk: Connecting Young People to the Yorkshire Dales

Ruth Garrett

Wednesday 20 March, 4.30pm

Meet one of our Creative Campaigners – our group of passionate environmentalists aged 20-30. In this online talk Ruth Garrett will share her own campaigning journey, her experience as an ambassador for the national charity Campaign for National Parks (CNP), volunteering as a teenager to a young adult with Friends of the Dales and how these experiences lead to the launch of the Creative Campaigners Network in the Dales. Ruth also created a short documentary on sustainable farming featuring former Friends of the Dales trustee, farmer Anthony Bradley, made possible with a CNP New Perspectives Bursary in 2022.

Walk: ride2stride

Long Preston Deeps by Ken Humphris

Wednesday 1 May, 10:15 – 4:00pm

Once again we are taking part in the popular ride2stride Settle-Carlisle walking and music festival programme, with a seven mile easy-moderate walk from Long Preston railway station to Settle station. Partially following the Ribble Way, walkers can enjoy viewing Wigglesworth Hall and Long Preston Deeps along with lots of spring flowers and hopefully wading birds. Please note this walk starts and ends at different railway stations.

This walk is free and no booking is required. Please arrive promptly at the start point with suitable clothing, footwear, a drink and packed lunch. No dogs. The start time marks the arrival of a train and so may be subject to delay. The finish time is approximate.
