Saturday Practical Conservation Workdays
With Greenwich Peninsula Ecology Park Conservation Volunteers

Activity description
Join our Saturday conservation workdays at the Ecology Park and help the wardens carry out vital management work in the park's different habitats - marsh, meadow, lakes, ponds, shingle beach and woodland. Places are limited to 10 on a Saturday, so you will need to book in advance by emailing gpep@tcv.org.uk The first time you volunteer, we will ask you to fill out a TCV Volunteer Welfare Form (or we can email this to you in advance if you prefer). You will be working as part of a volunteer team with the park wardens, carrying out tasks such as pond clearing, reed cutting, meadow cutting, coppicing (cutting smaller tree stems), digging and weeding.

Pond Clearance
With Bedfordshire Environmental Action Team
At Toddington village pond
Activity description
This is our annual trip to the pond to help keep on top of vegetation growth and prevent the pond filling up with plants entirely. Pulling out some of the reeds by the root helps keep the balance of the pond healthy and ensures there's plenty of open water as well as cover for wildlife. We'll provide the waders, the tools and the tea and biscuits, you just need yourself and some enthusiasm!

We run practical conservation tasks in various locations in York and the surrounding area from 10am-4.30pm on the second and fourth Sundays of each month. Transport is provided from Tang Hall Community Centre and the University Library bus stop on University Road. No experience necessary. The work varies from season to season. 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. If you want to get involved in practical work outdoors, learn new skills (or share old ones!) and work with a fun and friendly group then come and join in.
