    Volunteers will be cutting down small holly trees in Park Wood, to improve the biodiversity in the woodland. This activity provides a great opportunity for volunteers to explore nature. A woodland can become dark and gloomy if there are a lot of holly trees growing close together. This impacts biodiversity in the woodland, as other tree species do not have enough light to germinate. Gradually over time, a species-rich woodland can turn into a wood dominated by holly trees.

    Tools and gloves are provided. No experience is needed. Please wear suitable outdoor clothing and strong shoes or boots that you don't mind getting a little muddy. Holly has prickly leaves, so wear old clothes that fully cover your arms, legs and ankles.

    Volunteers can borrow wellies and raincoats from Warwick Volunteers. 

    Light snacks will be provided. Recommended to bring additional snacks and bottled water.

    We encourage you to get in touch if you have any specific access requirements, or need more information about the content and delivery method of a specific volunteering opportunity. If you have any requests related to a disability, please email volunteers@warwick.ac.uk giving at least two working days’ notice if possible.
