Enfield conservation volunteers and groundforce countryside conservation volunteers

This is a voluntarily service available to anyone who would like to take an active part in looking after the countryside.

This service carries out improvements in the parks and open spaces and the Green Belt estate, such as hedge planting, tree planting, coppicing, hedge-laying, footpath improvements, fencing and bridge building, pond work and clearance.

Enfield Conservation Volunteers and Groundforce are open to anyone aged 16 or over in good health.

Please bring:

• Working clothes and sound footwear.
• Waterproofs if wet.
• A pair of gloves.
• Refreshments and a packed lunch (tea, coffee & biscuits provided at Groundforce).

All volunteer projects will commence at the meeting place at 10.00 am and finish by 4.00 pm.

We provide:

• Supervision and training (tasks will be led by Outreach Team).
• Tools and equipment.

No skills or experience are required as training will be provided for all aspects of the work. The aim of the projects is to carry out practical improvements while enjoying yourself, so work at your own pace.
