Conservation Volunteers – Conservation Action Team Volunteering

Organisation:
The Conservation Volunteers

Salary:
This position is entirely voluntary and is therefore unpaid

Hi we’re The Conservation Volunteers (TCV), and we connect people together to protect and restore nature.

Since 1959, The Conservation Volunteers has been a charity creating opportunities for people to create, improve and care for nature in the green spaces around them across the UK. Our variety of projects cover a bit of everything involving nature. Volunteers muddy their boots in parks, community gardens, woodland, sites of special scientific interest, nature reserves, schools and hospital grounds, helping create a glorious network of protected green space across the UK.

This work connects people with nature, and that connection delivers powerful results.

Join us around different sites across Northern Ireland, explore the natural beauty of our local landscape and learn how we can preserve it. This is a physical volunteering opportunity, managing scrub such as gorse, willow, spruce, alder and rhododendron, removing it from important habitats.

We have a member of staff leaving the Belfast office Tuesday-Thursday who can provide a lift (tea, coffee and cake as standard)!
