2020 Work Parties
In the pond
Work parties are fun, as well as being vital for the management of the fens!
As well as being a good way to get fit and de-stress, volunteering on work parties makes a huge and direct contribution towards the restoration of the sites that we manage. We are also able to count volunteer labour as match funding towards some of the grants that we obtain for habitat restoration work.
Work parties are held Wednesday mornings 9.30am until 1pm (sometimes all day) and on the second Sunday in most months starting at 10.30am.
Please come for as little or as much time as you like and bring your friends along - all contributions are valuable. You will need wellies or strong boots and old clothes - we will provide tools, gloves and refreshments.
