Welcome to HCV

We are an active group of people making a practical contribution to nature conservation in Hampshire and sometimes beyond. Most weekends we carry out practical tasks such as woodland management, path work, fencing, heath and downland management, hedge-laying and pond restoration.
The majority of our work is for Hampshire County Council, local councils, Natural England, schools and various charitable trusts.

New volunteers are always welcome and no previous experience is required. Before work starts, training is given in the safe use of tools and any potential hazards are explained. Experienced volunteers will explain and demonstrate work techniques. You are welcome to come to our tasks before you decide whether to join.
