We have agreed to help Boro Becks in a programme of beck cleanings.

Over four Wednesdays in March, four of the becks which run through the town and meet the river Tees will be targeted. We are looking for volunteers to don their boots and jackets and lend a hand.

The becks play host to a rich variety of wildlife including birds such as jays and woodpeckers and mammals including otters and hedgehogs.

The Middlesbrough becks are also nationally recognised as a habitat for the endangered water vole. On top of that they boast great footpaths for walking, cycling and food foraging.

Dates:

Marton West Beck - 7th March, 10.30am-1pm.  Meet at the Sutton Centre, corner of Sutton Way and Collin Avenue (off Saltersgill Avenue).
Ormesby Beck - 14th March, 10.30am-1pm.  Meet at Park End Community Centre, Overdale Road.
Middle Beck - 21st March, 10.30am-1pm.  Meet at Charlbury Road Community Centre, corner of Charlbury Road and Homerton Road.
Spencer Beck - 28th March, 10.30am-1pm.  Meet at Thorntree Community Centre, Birkhall Road.
