Dartmoor National Park volunteering opportunity: ‘Shipley Bridge Project’ – Are you able to come along from 10.30am–3pm to help the Archaeologists and Dartmoor National Park Rangers at Shipley Bridge, South Brent? (Grid Ref: SX 680 629). We will be clearing vegetation to discover the old china clay and naptha workings near the car park, together with having a tidy up of any rubbish, looking after the paths, and also inviting volunteers on a guided walk looking at Archaeological features in the area. If you would like to find out more, and come along for some, or all of the day’s activities – please email Ella on ebriens@dartmoor.gov.uk to book your place by Friday 23 November. All tools and gloves, and light refreshments are provided. Please ‘Dress for Dartmoor’ and bring a drink and packed lunch if you are planning to stay for the day. If you know any friends that are coming, please car share where possible. There will be a further Shipley Bridge work party on 9 December. A massive ‘Thank you’ to everyone who has helped so far from DNPA Rangers Ella and Andrea.
