Practical conservation task days

Our Practical Conservation Task Days are extremely popular and a super way to experience nature and wild places, where ever you are. We have loads of opportunities for you to get stuck into - take a look at the calendar!

We've put lots of useful hints and tips for what you need to bring along to your Task Day on the Practical Conservation Calendar link below.

We look forward to welcoming you on one of our Task Days very soon!

Under 18?

For young people under 16 we will require parents or guardians to accompany you at all times and also register as a volunteer. Young people aged 16 or 17 can volunteer without an accompanying adult but we must register you before you begin, have a parental consent (a signed form) completed and agreement from the volunteer manager before you start volunteering.
