The Reserve Volunteers meet every Monday at 10:00 to carry out practical conservation work at our reserves across the Tees Valley.
Conservation tasks are varied in response to the habitat management required on each site but often include the following:
- Strimming and grass-cutting
- Using small hand tools
- Litter-picking
- Planting trees
- Laying paths
- Clearing scrubland and meadows
- Hedge-laying
- Erecting fences
- Felling trees and pruning
The tasks involved can be spread over one day or several months depending on demand for the work being done and the number of people on each volunteer group to do it! Some tasks involve new projects and others are more about site maintenance, but all are for the benefit of the wildlife as well as improving access and enjoyment for visitors. Volunteers are supported fully in all tasks by the Reserves team.
