A huge thank you to our wonderful Wednesday and Saturday volunteers who have worked so hard to manage vital habitats in the park over the autumn, winter and early spring. Our regular weekly Wednesday workdays take a break now for the late spring and summer period. This is to allow plants to grow and flower, birds to nest and insects to complete their life cycles undisturbed. The workdays start up again in September 2024 when it will all need cutting back again!
Our Saturday practical conservation workdays keep going for a little bit longer and are every other Saturday – check the dates and times below. You need to pre-book a place in advance for each session by emailing gpep@tcv.org.uk and the first time you volunteer, we will ask you to fill out a TCV Volunteer Welfare Form.
See below for more details, dates and age limits.
Employee Action Days
Employee Action Days gives corporate teams the opportunity to carry out practical conservation and environmental work to improve green spaces in their local community.
At Greenwich Peninsula Ecology Park, teams can help with some of our larger habitat management tasks, such as reed cutting, meadow cutting and shingle beach digging as well as unique tasks such as tern raft management and compost turning.
This is a great opportunity for businesses to help maintain the park’s unique biodiversity while fulfilling their team building aspirations.
As a charity, we are committed to full cost recovery and we will work together to your requirements and budgets.
Costs include; trained volunteer support officers to lead your day – great care is taken to ensure that all volunteers (new and long-serving) have a safe, inclusive and enjoyable experience, project planning and set-up costs, full risk assessment and insurance, provision of tools and safety equipment.
