Community Volunteering Day
Can you spare a few hours to help us with a big conservation task at beautiful Parke as part of Bovey Great Big Green Week? The more the merrier!
- Booking not needed
- Free event
As part of Bovey Great Big Green Week, we are asking for your help to look after the wildflower meadows and increase biodiversity. Everyone is welcome so grab family and friends, or come solo and join the crew - it will be a fun and friendly day of us all working as a community. The task involves pulling up an alien plant that overshadows our native plants. It's easy and fun to do.
