Conservation Services provides a Community Leadership service to organisations interested in carrying out conservation work with community groups and volunteers.
During the spring and summer months Conservation Services leads residential conservation projects - working holidays. Volunteer projects are designed for specific environmental tasks that otherwise could not be undertaken because of the cost of the labour involved. For anyone interested in the environment and the outdoors, this is a great way to help out, meet new people, learn new skills and have a great working holiday.
Accommodation is provided to volunteers free of charge as are insurance, tools, training and safety talk, although there is a small admin charge. Transport to the location is usually up to you but see individual projects for details.
