Volunteering with BTCV
If you want to volunteer, either individually or with a small group of friends or colleagues, then the easiest way is to join in with an existing volunteering project. We've listed these below by both project type and county, so you can chose how you'd prefer to look up what we have on offer. We offer opportunities both during the week and at the weekend and a mixture of practical projects and family friendly community events. Please click on the green links for further information.
Most people find becoming a conservation volunteer is worthwhile, great fun and helps them to feel both fitter and happier. For many it becomes an activity that stays with them all their lives. BTCV is looking to work with at least one and a half million people over the next four years, so do come along and take part too. We look foward to meeting you!
