Conservation Volunteer

Working in a wildflower meadow near Lewingdon Wood. Tasks include:

• Removing unwanted saplings & small trees (and piling the brash produced) with loppers & bowsaws
• Installing a handrail next to steps
• Installing a bench under a small field maple tree
• Scraping away topsoil (to deplete the soil & make it favourable for wildflowers)

All tools & gloves supplied by TCV

All the work is physical conservation work – as a volunteer – you can do as much or as little as you like!

About The Conservation Volunteers

We are a community conservation charity that aim to improve green spaces & raise biodiversity. We bring together volunteers who would like to improve the environment, meet like-minded others and enjoy working outside for their own wellbeing.

What skills do I need?

We can train all volunteers. If you have gardening, conservation (or even DIY) practical skills – these would be welcome, but are not necessary.

Anyone with knowledge of ecology may be useful in helping to plan the work (again, not necessary – but if you have the skills, we can use them).

Details

Volunteering is on Tuesday from 10-2 – there is no time commitment for the day (you can come at any time during the day as long as we know when). Ideally, committing for the whole 10am – 2pm slot would be great.
