As well as our programmes for groups and young people we run projects to meet specific outcomes. This might be training group leaders to introduce people to nature in Malham, leading walks in Wharfedale or area-based projects working with partner organisations. You can sign up to our newsletter to keep in touch with what we’re doing.
Many of our projects are run in partnership with other organisations and they often rely on external funding. Our projects might target a specific community or geographical area or work to deliver particular outcomes for people.
If you have a project that meets our aims and would like to partner with us or would like to be involved in one of our current projects please contact us at learning@yorkshiredales.org.uk along with partner organisations if relevant. These projects are usually externally funded; they work with specific groups of people or geographical areas or deliver specific outcomes.
Details of our current and most recent projects are listed here.
