Celebrating our 29th year

The Derbyshire Conservation Volunteers (DCV) are a local group who undertake practical outdoor tasks to conserve and enhance the wildlife potential of rural and urban sites mainly in the county of Derbyshire. The Derbyshire Conservation Volunteers are affiliated to the British Trust for Conservation Volunteers (BTCV) which is a registered charity. We work with local organisations such as the Peak District National Park, Groundwork Derbyshire, the National Trust and some private landowners.

WHAT DOES THE DCV DO?

The work undertaken is extremely varied and includes hedgelaying, dry stone walling, woodland management, pond digging, fencing, tree planting and footpath maintenance. Most of the conservation is done at the weekend, usually on a Sunday on alternate weeks.

WHO CAN BE A CONSERVATION VOLUNTEER?

If you are enthusiastic and willing to help, you are welcome! No previous experience is necessary and age or fitness is not a barrier. Membership of the Derbyshire Conservation Volunteers is free and involves no obligation.
