Volunteering Groups

We aim to conserve the natural environment in and around Leeds by conducting conservation work alongside local initiatives. This mainly involves Woodland management and you could be doing anything from cutting down invasive trees, to planting native flowers/trees, to path construction or shrub clearance.

But of course it's not all work!

The society’s just as much about getting to meet a really great bunch of wonderful people, and so we also hold regular socials. These involve Bowling, Ice Skating or a meal out.

So by joining this Society you can get:

• Three week-end tasks a month to locations such as Woodhouse Ridge, Kirkstall Nature Reserve, Otley Chevin, Gledhow Valley, Rodley Nature Reserve.
• Weekly work on our allotted area of Woodhouse Ridge
• 2 weekend trips away to either the Peak District, Yorkshire Dales or a small private Forest in Ripon
• Bimonthly socials to have a great time with great people

For more information, questions or to join our mailing list, just drop an e-mail to luuconservation@gmail.com or find us on  Facebook under  "LUU Conservation Volunteers": http://www.facebook.com/groups/2215558658/.

Hope to see you soon,

Your Committee of LUU Conservation Volunteers

Next Trip: Peak District. Fri 17th Feb 2012 - Sun 19th Feb 2012. Come join us on a wonderful weekend away trip in the Peak District  We will be working alonside local rangers to carry out some woodland management. The cost of the trip is £18 which will include transport, accomodation and food. 

Remember you need membership to to buy a ticket, so if you don't have one, what are you for? It's only £3!

Also due to a limited number of spaces I reccommend buying tickets as early as possible as to avoid dissapointment. 

For every task volunteers should wear outdoor clothes and sturdy shoes!
