The
local support groups' network enables members to take
part in the Trust's work on a local basis from every
corner of our precious county.
Local
Groups are run by volunteers and offer a wide range
of activities such as walks, talks, working parties
and fundraising events. The volunteers are friendly,
welcoming and an important part of the Wildlife Trust's
work.
There
are five local groups operating through our area at
the moment, but if you are interested in setting up
a group in your area, then please email: info@lancswt.org.uk
