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.

Practical Conservation - 2nd and 4th Sunday of each month
With York Practical Conservation - Weekend
At TCV York Office (THCC)

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.

Tool Maintenance Day!
With Biodiversity Action Team (West London)
At TCV Tool Shed Grove Gardens Teddington
Activity description
This is one of two half-day sessions focusing on tool maintenance (cleaning, sharpening, oiling) to give them some TLC after the last few busy hot months. I also need to construct a new wheelbarrow shelf for use in the cargo hold of the new van (which doesn't have nice flat ply housing around the wheels to sit things on/is wider than my previous van). I welcome all ideas for this!! Please contact Brittany directly to register attendance for this session. Please note the tool store does not have running water/electricity. The closest loos are an 8 minute walk to The Anglers Pub (opens 10am).

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!
