Tree Nursery Volunteering
With Tree Nursery Volunteers
At Cultra
Activity description
Join us for a volunteering taster session at our site in the Ulster Folk Museum, Cultra! This introductory session is aimed at people who are new to volunteering with the Tree Nursery and want to give it a try to see what it's like to volunteer with us. You'll join us for a tour of our site and will spend some time completing seasonal Tree Nursery tasks. Here at the Tree Nursery, we are always looking for volunteers to help us deliver our mission in helping Northern Irelands native woodlands. The vital conservation work we carry out would be impossible without you. So, if you like the sound of getting a bit mucky and having fun, all while doing good for the environment then this is the place for you! *Please email tcv-treenursery@tcv.org.uk to book a space.

Pond Clearance
With Bedfordshire Environmental Action Team
At Biddenham Pond
Activity description
Join us to help keep this lovely village pond in tip top condition. Every year we spend a couple of days clearing out reeds, weeds and the odd bit of rubbish to ensure the pond stays clear and healthy. There are a range of tasks so even if you'd rather stay on the bank you can join in and help move the material that is cleared - through to donning the waders and braving the pond mud.

In winter you could be tree planting, hedge laying, or creating and maintaining ponds and wetlands; whilst in summer you could be constructing wildlife areas in schools, creating footpaths, making hay, or undertaking invasive species control.
