Lincolnshire has some beautiful countryside. What better way to
discover it than by volunteering with Lincoln Conservation Group?
The Group was formed in 1994 and we are affiliated to BTCV. We carry out
practical nature conservation work in and around Lincoln, helping to
conserve the natural history and biodiversity (variety of plant and animal
life) of the area, and having fun at the same time!
WHO…? Volunteers with
Lincoln Conservation Group come from all sorts of backgrounds and span all
ages (though you must be 16 years or over to join us). We share an interest
in our environment and in nature conservation. We also get together socially
for the cinema, bike rides, the pub, meals out, etc.
WHAT…? Our volunteer workday (also
known as 'tasks') include coppicing and hedge laying, tree and hedge
planting, woodland management, grassland management, dry stone walling, pond
restoration and construction work. We carry out work for organisations such
as Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust, City of Lincoln Council, Lincolnshire County
Council, Natural England, the Forestry Commission, etc.
WHEN…? We usually hold tasks on the
first and third Sunday each month. We meet at the site for 10am and work
until 3.30-4pm, depending on the time of year (though we also welcome people
for just part of the day). Once or twice a year we venture outside
Lincolnshire for an ‘away weekend’ nature conservation task.
WHERE…? We work on the wildlife havens in and around the
city of Lincoln, on nature reserves around Lincolnshire and occasionally for
nature conservation organisations further afield, for example in Derbyshire
and Yorkshire. We share transport to the sites.
WHY…? There are lots
of reasons why we volunteer with the Lincoln Conservation Group, but a few
of them are:
Helping to conserve the county’s natural history
Getting out into the countryside at the weekend
Keeping fit
Learning new skills
Making friends
Having fun
Free tea, coffee and biscuits!
Volunteering with the Lincoln Conservation Group is a great way to meet
people so come along and join us!
