Volunteering
There
are plenty of opportunities to get involved in the
creation and conservation of wildlife habitats in
Bolton.
Bolton
Conservation Volunteers Mid-Week Group goes out every
Wednesday and Thursday working on wildlife projects
around Bolton. Get involved and you will have the
opportunity to work on woodland management, wildflower
meadow creation and management, creating and looking
after ponds, planting trees and new hedgerows, rebuilding
dry stone walls and much, much, more!
As
you learn new skills, you will enjoy visiting interesting
places in your local countryside with like-minded
people.
Come
along and make new friends, enjoy a great social life,
find out about wildlife, have fun and keep fit into
the bargain!
The
Mid-Week Group work on sites across Bolton and beyond
including: Seven Acres Country
Park, Doffcocker
Lodge, Longworth
Clough, Wigan
Flashes, Clifton Moss, Eatock
Lodge and Hall
Lee Bank Park.
In
addition to these interesting sites, work is also
carried out at local schools and on community allotments.
Since 1988 over 100 schools and colleges have been
assisted with the construction of environmental areas
and wildlife gardens.
If
this doesn't sound like your idea of fun, why not
volunteer on one of our community allotments? Learn
to grow organic food in a wildlife friendly manner,
and enjoy the produce while you're at it!
Alternatively
come and help in the office! We always have publicity
which needs creating, databases which need building,
mail-outs which need sending and endless other tasks.
Work
placements can be arranged if you require experience
either for college, university or as a stepping stone
to paid employment. Contact us on 01204 663754 to
arrange a chat.
