GVCV has been carrying out conservation work in Gloucestershire for more than 20 years.

About twice a month, on Sundays, we pick up in Cheltenham and Gloucester and spend the day working on one of the projects below.
      Dry stone walling
      Tree planting
      Fencing
      Hedgelaying
      Footpath maintenance
      Stile building
      Woodland management
      Scrub clearance

Occasionally there are working weekends away and, if there is sufficient demand, conservation holidays can be arranged.

Bridge-building It's not all work though, we meet socially for pub nights, meals out, visits, ten pin bowling etc.

The group is always looking for more volunteers, so why not join us? You don't need any experience as full instructions are given and we always begin with a short safety briefing on the use of tools and equipment.

A day’s work in the beautiful Gloucestershire countryside is very satisfying and you'd be learning country crafts and helping to conserve the natural environment. The task reports are rather out of date but they do still reflect the sort of tasks we do and may perhaps help you consider becoming one of the Gloucester Vale Conservation Volunteers.

The latest Gloucester Vale Conservation Volunteers’ News can be found in the News section and a helpful Task Leader's Checklist is now available.

See the current task programme and for more information email info@gvcv.org.uk or call 01451 860960.

Take a look too at the social programme and arrange to join us for a relaxing evening out.
