Volunteer work parties carry out conservation work in several woods and forests in the local area. We undertake a range of tasks including coppicing and scrub clearance, with the aim of improving the environment for dormice, butterflies, woodland flowers, birds and a wide range of other insects and invertebrates. These work parties are friendly and fun and new volunteers are always welcome!
If you would like to come and join us, these are the contacts for the various sites:

Frith Wood: Frith Wood has a beautiful and varied native woodland flora, including ancient trees with cracks and crevices that provide homes for birds, bats and dormice.
