Brilliant day with The Conservation Volunteers at their Hollybush site in Leeds today. Such a buzzing atmosphere, loads of friendly staff and volunteers, a beautiful environment and ace cafe! It was a real pleasure to meet the team and I’m really pleased to be working with them on internal comms and engagement.

July is #NationalPicnicMonth, and what better way to celebrate than by saluting the #volunteers from our communities who unite to construct, maintain, and repair UK footpaths with us each year – giving access to both nature and our favourite picnic spots! #JoinInFeelGood with thousands of people and communities across the UK connecting to nature on their doorsteps and contributing to its protection: https://buff.ly/3Se5AQt *Figures taken from TCV environmental output stats 2022/23

Last week, we held our annual Managing Partners' Conference and Land Trust Awards in Essex. At the conference we welcomed Fiona Richards, Operations Director England at The Conservation Volunteers as our keynote speaker discussing volunteer and community engagement on greenspaces. Later in the day we took a fantastic trip to Canvey Wick, located on the Essex stretch of the Thames Estuary. Managing partners and Land Trust colleagues were treated to a bug hunt where they spotted a slow worm, and a tour around the reserve by site managers RSPB and Buglife.   In the evening, it was the Land Trust Awards where we celebrated the amazing achievements from the past year across the Land Trust sites we manage together with managing partners, volunteers, and community groups. There were 12 awards up for grabs, with over 50 sites, rangers and volunteers shortlisted. Congratulations to all of this year’s award winners and well done to all that were shortlisted! Thank you to everyone who came along and contributed to the event, celebrating the amazing work delivered across the country.    For more details of the award winners, please see here: https://lnkd.in/e3enFukp

Back in March The National Lottery Community Fund awarded The Conservation Volunteers £449,552 for the next three years to continue the youth provision established by Tang Hall Big Local and to develop the outdoors elements of the programme based in Hull Road Park. Well now the election is over we can announce that the project went live on 1st July and the joint programme between North Yorkshire Youth, Choose2 CIC and The Conservation Volunteers, is underway - including a fantastic activity week in mid August. A huge thanks to our partners, to many local stakeholders and of course the players of the National Lottery without which there would be no funding for this and so many other vital projects..
