Biodiversity Action Team - North London at The Conservation Volunteers www.tcv.org.uk : Voluntary Action Harrow

Come and join TCV's Biodiversity Action Team!

We carry out all sorts of nature conservation work - digging new ponds in school grounds, scything meadows, clearing invasive plants from lakes, planting trees, installing bat boxes - you name it, we do it!

Our sessions run from 10-3 every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday - with the majority of our work taking place in Harrow and Brent.

Harrow highlights include Bentley Priory, Headstone Manor Park, Pear Wood and Stanmore Marsh.

There is no minimum commitment, so why not join us for the day? Meet new people, learn new skills, keep fit and healthy, all whist helping the nature on your doorstep!

What skills do I need?

No specific skills required - just a willingness to learn
