Ardwick Climate Action Community Bulb Planting and Climate Event

1st October 12:00 to 16:00
Come and be a part of transforming urban greenspaces with Ardwick Climate Action and set a world record for group flower planting!

Ardwick Climate Actions’ mission is to protect our local environment through grassroots advocacy that engages the local community. Their work encompasses the renewing of green spaces, monitoring pollution levels, and climate advocacy through community engagement.

Come along to this community day at A6 Young People’s Centre, 32-34 Wilson St, Manchester, M13 9EX. Click here for Google Maps.

Ardwick is one of the most deprived areas in Manchester, and much work is needed to reengage and sensitise the community back to nature and the climate crisis that affects all its residents.

This volunteer day will involve lots of activities where you can discover the benefits of taking care of our local greenspaces and how we can all contribute to climate action. The activities include:

  • Mass Bulb Planting
  • Music with Sonja Von Turon
  • Festical Dress
  • Active Travel
  • Biffa recycling station
  • Air Pollution monitoring and lung station
  • Bee craft station and local botany and pollinators
  • Bike Maintenance
  • Carbon Footprint Calculator
  • Gren Routes
  • Keep Manchester Tidy
