Congleton & District Conservation Volunteers was formed in 1990 and is affiliated to BTCV (The British Trust for Conservation Volunteers). The group is one of many similar voluntary groups around the country where people who value their environment can take practical action to improve it. We work in and around the Congleton area, supporting various local organisations and individuals including Countryside Rangers, Cheshire Wildlife Trust and the National Trust to maintain and develop sites of natural importance.
Woodlands, mosses, lowland heaths and meadow land are some of the locations that we help to manage. Some of them rare, providing valuable habitats for flora, fauna and wildlife. We also help maintain and keep clear access so that the public can enjoy these areas of natural beauty. In addition to this we help keep alive traditional skills such as hedge laying and coppicing.
