Bickershaw Country Park gets its name from the former coal mine which occupied much of the site. Since the closure of the mine, nature has had the chance to re-colonise the land and create wonderful areas for plants and animals.  We need people to help us to create the ideal environment for the local flora and fauna.

Work parties take place Tuesday-Friday and the last Saturday of the month. You can volunteer for one day or more, no previous experience is needed just enthusiasm to get stuck in whatever the weather and a reasonable level of physical fitness. We provide the tools, training and personal protective equipment and we can reimburse travel expenses up to £8 per day.

Practical conservation volunteering is a great way to spend a day working outside with like-minded people, surrounded by nature and learning new skills along the way.
