What is a Conservation Volunteer?

Muiravonside Country Park combines 170 acres of woodland and parkland with a demonstration farm, play parks, river walks and historic ruins.  Our new country park volunteer group will carry out a range of conservation tasks around the park including, but not limited to, maintaining paths and trails, planting trees, and creating wildlife habitats.

  • Work alongside other committed volunteers

What’s involved?

Skills, attitude, and experience required

This is a labour-intensive role so you must be reasonably fit and able to carry out physical work comfortably.  The role will involve walking between different areas of the country park and working in all weathers.

Volunteers must be able to follow instruction and adhere to the council’s health and safety policy.

No experience is necessary, but a can-do attitude is a must; training will be provided for all activities.
