Hundreds of volunteers have helped us care for the Bathscape area and make sure it’s enjoyed by generations to come.
795 volunteers have contributed 3000 days of their time and enthusiasm – we are very grateful to them. They have carried out activities including practical conservation works, habitat surveying, leading walks and research. Volunteering has brought enjoyment and wellbeing, and the satisfaction that they’ve helped protect the Bathscape area.
We have provided 900 training opportunities for volunteers and the wider community – ensuring that they have the skills to continue caring for the landscape. Training has included dry stone walling, scything, first aid, map skills, walk leader training, surveying, fruit tree pruning, animal care and lots more.

If you are working with volunteers on nature conservation, Friends of Lyncombe Hill Fields have put together this really useful guide for conservation volunteers, based on their experiences and things they wished they’d known – The Nature Volunteer’s Companion
