Come along to one of our Migrant Conservation Programme days where you will head out into the field to meet local conservation groups, learn about what they have been doing to help protect their local spaces and lend them a helping hand to reach their goals. Tasks you will help out with include weeding, litter clean ups, native plant nursery work, tree planting, mulching and more.
