    With West Dumbartonshire Council

    At Saltings The

    Activity description

    Join The Conservation Volunteers (TCV) to enhance the biodiversity of West Dunbartonshire’s greenspaces. We meet regularly in The Saltings, Faifley Knowes and Auchnacraig to help care for the local woodlands and wildlife areas, plant trees and hedges, create wildflower meadows, clear invasive plant species, and much more! Conservation volunteering is a great opportunity to make a difference for nature and to combat climate change. Details of upcoming sessions are emailed out each Friday. Get in touch if you would like to be added to our mailing list.

    Plant surveys and thistle clearance

    With Bedfordshire Environmental Action Team

    At Sundon National Grid (Chalton)

    Activity description

    We have just started a new long term project at this brilliant little site, to improve biodiversity. As we're in the early stages, our first few months are concentrating on recording what's on site now, and keeping on top of the plant species that would otherwise take over - mainly thistles. So our sessions are a mix of scything, raking, and walking over the site to survey what's there. Something for everyone!
