County Voice: December 2021

Volunteer

Ask yourself: Do you enjoy spending time outdoors? Would you like to connect more with nature or become more active? Are you looking for a way to meet new people and learn new skills?

As a volunteer with the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) you will find all of this and more.

As the name suggests, here in the Dee Valley we work in an area with stunning scenery and care for a wonderful variety of habitats and wildlife. We need your help in keeping our haven as it should be for the survival of our native species and the enjoyment of our communities.

As Rangers in the Dee Valley, we are out in the landscape come rain or shine to manage habitats, carry out wildlife surveys, help with visitor management, maintain our footpaths and much, much more. Whether you would be interested in doing some practical habitat management, learning traditional skills such as dry stone walling and hedge-laying, gardening, completing various arts and crafts and wildlife surveys, or joining us for a guided walk- there is something to suit everyone.

So why not come along on any Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday for a rewarding day in the great outdoors. We provide full training and all the necessary tools. All you will need is sturdy footwear, suitable clothing for the weather, a packed lunch and enthusiasm! Our event timetables can be found on the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley AONB’s website. For any more information on our events contact us for a chat on 07384248361 or message the Bryniau Clwyd a Dyffryn Dyfrdwy Facebook page.
