Come and get involved with TCV’s BAT teams!
Our established Biodiversity Action Teams help manage some of London’s most beautiful and vibrant sites for nature conservation, as well as creating new nature gardens for communities and schools.
The BAT teams offer a full day volunteering experience working on some fairly large projects so if you’re looking for a great feeling of achievement, to meet new people and the opportunity to learn some new skills in the process this could be the project for you.
Projects can include woodland management, habitat creation, pond maintenance and invasive species control as well as some environmental construction activities including building ponds and dipping platforms, boardwalks, fencing, paths, natural play equipment and a range of habitats.
All training and instruction is given on the day so no previous experience is required.
Where we work
With four teams covering each point of the London compass we cover almost the whole capital. Individual work sites vary so meet at your local office for free transport in our minibuses to the project.
Typical sites include parks, nature reserves, schools, community gardens and heritage sites.
