Glasgow Biodiversity Action Team
With Biodiversity Action Team Glasgow
At Glasgow wide
Activity description
Join The Conservation Volunteers (TCV) to enhance the biodiversity of Glasgow’s many fantastic parks and greenspaces. 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. TCV projects run daily from Tuesday – Saturday, approximately 10am – 2pm, with city centre pick-ups and drop-offs. There’s no minimum commitment – just join in when you can. Let’s make Glasgow greener together! We work in various sites across Glasgow. Details of upcoming sessions are emailed out each Friday. Get in touch if you would like to be added to our mailing list.

Little Park - Water vole habitat creation
With Richmond Weekday Projects
At Little Park -River Crane
Activity description
We will be working in Little Park to re-naturalise a section of Mill Stream and improve the habitat for the endangered water vole. The project is being managed by Zoological Society of London on behalf of the Crane Valley Partnership, on land which is owned and managed by Richmond Council. Water vole need well vegetated banks, for food and predator avoidance. Overshading is the principle reason for lack of vegetated banks in this stretch of Mill Stream. We will look to reduce the shading over the western bank of the stream by removing overhanging branches, smaller trees and scrubby patches. We will provide waders and gloves. If you are of a smaller foot size, I would recommend bringing an extra thick pair of socks as the smallest wader size we have available is a 7. Land-loving volunteers are also vital for collecting and moving green waste and litter around the site.
