The Tasty Programme, which ran from October 2006 until March 2007, worked with about 2,000 young people who got involved in around 500 different environmental activities, for a day or longer. The programme has since been extended for another six months to reach a further 1,000 young people.
Activities included litter clearance days, tree planting, drystone walling, hedge-laying, fencing and creating wildlife habitats.
