WIRRAL COUNTRYSIDE VOLUNTEERS

Wirral Countryside Volunteers (WCV) was established in 1985. We are a volunteer-based organisation and we organise a programme of practical conservation activities through much of the year. Our members come from a wide range of backgrounds and we welcome, on our tasks, anyone who is interested in having a go - whether they are quite experienced in carrying out that task - or have never ever even tried to do such a thing. We do have several members who are experienced in leading the tasks and at helping, and encouraging, others to have a go... WCV do aim to promote both the skills involved in carrying out these tasks and the reasons why we think that they are worth doing. We offer training days in hedgelaying, and for that we sometimes bring in outside experts to help us. However, any task day can be a training day for those who wish to learn from the experience and expertise of others. The training tends to be informal and based on the job.
