Bradford Council and Yorkshire Wildlife Trust have some ‘wild’ plans for summer thanks to players of the National Lottery.
They’ve teamed up to put on a series of fun nature based activities for families over the school summer holidays.
Thanks to Bradford Council’s Climate Action Fund people can come and learn how to forage and make a wild medicinal herbal balm with a local medicinal herbalist and make a window box with salads and wildflowers made entirely from old pallets!
