Get green and active
There are all sorts of ways that you can make a difference and help care for nature in Bracknell Forest. Conservation volunteering is a practical way for you to help support and encourage wildlife in the borough - and enjoy yourself at the same time.
One way to get involved is through the Green and Active project, which helps us deliver a wide range of practical conservation tasks across Bracknell Forest.
Examples of activities include:
- heath and woodland management, coppicing, hedge laying, pond and stream restoration and scrub bashing
- creating new wildlife features such as hedgerows, woodlands and wildflower meadows or even stag beetle loggeries
- surveying and monitoring wildlife and habitats
You don't need experience or a regular commitment - just come along when you can, enjoy the fresh air and be part of a community that's helping nature thrive.
