Volunteering Opportunities
- Block 1 text
Volunteers experience nature, by taking part in fun environmental activities to improve the natural green spaces surrounding Canley. Volunteer sessions run for just a few hours, but they produce long term benefits that can be enjoyed by people and wildlife.
Activities include planting spring bulbs, creating wildflower meadows, uprooting Himalayan Balsam (an invasive species), woodland path clearance, hedge laying and planting trees.
Volunteers also explore the superb green spaces around Canley with guided walks through ancient woodland, farmland and beautiful countryside.
