Conservation volunteering activities every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
If you love being outside and active, you enjoy nature and want to help the environment, if you like being part of a team and making a difference in your area, why don’t you join us! We have conservation activities every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. There’s a range of tasks from woodland maintenance to footpath clearance to litter picking, all helping to make our local green spaces nicer for everyone, to improve the environment, and to help people to connect with nature and boost health and wellbeing.
Sessions are fun, free and friendly, and activities can be adapted for different levels of ability or experience.
We are always open for new volunteers. You can meet us outside the Fearon Road offices at 9.30am for a lift in the minibus, or meet us on site. Most of the activities are currently in the Hastings/Rother area but they can be further afield, see the schedule below.
Join in, feel good!
All of the sessions are led by a member of staff or an experienced Lead Volunteer who will provide training and guidance on all tasks. You don’t need to bring any tools or equipment, just wear rough clothing and sturdy footwear and bring your own packed lunch. Gloves are provided, free tea and coffee will be available.
We would love to see you at one of our sessions. Get in touch by calling Carrie Edmonds on 07764 655609 or emailing: carrie.edmonds@tcv.org.uk
