Welcome

Welcome to REAP, the Roundhay Environmental Action Project

We are a community organisation based in the Roundhay, Oakwood and Brackenwood districts of northeast Leeds. Founded in 2007, REAP empowers residents to tackle environmental issues and promote sustainability through projects that enhance community well-being.

About

PROJECTS

We are currently working on the following project areas

Food & Gardens

Our food projects strive to grow more local food with less environmental impact. Help us bring fresh, sustainable food to everyone!

Citizen Science

We are using I-Naturalist to create a map of wildlife across North East Leeds with other local groups

Nature

Our nature projects boost biodiversity by rewilding gardens and verges, helping pollinators and wildlife flourish.

Energy

Through our initiatives, we provide information to help reduce energy use and minimise our environmental impact.

Waste

Our waste projects focus on reducing waste as a key part of a circular economy and addressing the impact of our throwaway culture.

Water

Our water quality projects monitor the becks and lakes in Roundhay. We work with the Aire Rivers Trust, water@leeds and the University of York.
