Get involved with conservation

The British Trust for Conservation Volunteers (BTCV) in Richmond carries out weekday and weekend projects throughout the year on a range of beautiful Richmond wildlife sites. So if you want to try your hand at woodland management, hedge-laying, creating wildflower meadows, pond management, path building or a number of other practical conservation tasks, call them on 020 8831 6150. Find out more about BTCV on their website.

Richmond Environment Network (REN) is the local umbrella organisation for all voluntary groups with an interest in the environment. See their website for information about other local volunteer groups undertaking practical conservation work and other relevant information.
