The Conservation Volunteers

  • For more than 60 years, The Conservation Volunteers (TCV) has brought people together to create, improve and care for green spaces – be they local parks or community gardens, Local Nature Reserves or Sites of Special Scientific Interest, school or hospital grounds to name just a few – recognising that this delivers multiple outcomes, not just for the environment, but for people and communities too.We believe that green spaces are an essential part of healthy, happy communities and our mission is to connect people and green spaces to deliver lasting outcomes for both. We believe the opportunity to connect to nature on your doorstep and contribute to its protection should be available to everyone.Our team of dedicated, passionate staff and volunteers work with communities across England, Northern Ireland and Scotland and, through our Community Network, we support local community groups across the UK.
