We help seals sleep!!!
So they can rest and have a better chance at survival..
Yes, that is ultimately what the Yorkshire Seal Group are here to do :)
Please whizz us over a few quid to sponsor our mad mud run through a 5 mile obstacle course to raise money to help us...help more seals sleep!!
(..and some of us will be running dressed as seals and a walrus!!!)
Longer detailed version of why helping seals sleep is important and what the funds raised will be used for!.. ⬇️⬇️⬇️
We are lucky to have two seal species on our coast- Common seals (AKA Harbour seals) and Greys, which all haul out on our shores to rest, in between swimming and feeding at sea.
Every calorie counts! Undisturbed rest is vital to a seal for its health and development through different life stages, such as moulting, mating and pupping.
It is crucial that the cows (females) are given space to successfully birth, feed and wean their pups at a weight to best prepare them for life.
Almost 40% of our globally rare Grey seals live around UK shores alone...making it all the more important that we take care of our wild seal colonies resting on our shores and protect them from any disturbance.
Yorkshire Seal Group is a group of volunteers set up to achieve this, via monitoring of our Yorkshire colonies and haul-out sites, collecting observational data on colony size and disturbance and educating the public about seals and how and why to keep a distance from them.
This all helps to ensure their natural behaviours and cycles play out uninterrupted by people, helping to keep our treasured wild seals and their pups happy and healthy!
On Sunday 16th April 2023, volunteers for this fundraiser will be running the Get Caked 5 mile muddy obstacle course in Sledmere!
Please sponsor us, a quid or two, a fiver, tenner, every little helps.... to help raise money for
The Yorkshire Seal Group to purchase the following:
- Educational roller banners
- A trail camera, to help monitor and record disturbances and behavioural data
- A gazebo for outdoor fundraising and educational events
