BTCV Avon
Welcome to BTCV Avon. We co-ordinate many practical environmental conservation projects within Avon (Bristol, Bath & North East Somerset, North Somerset & South Gloucestershire) offering many opportunities for people to become involved.
We offer people opportunities to gain new skills and experiences which in turn allows them to make a positive contribution to their local community.
