Tamar Valley volunteers

The Tamar Community Trust has a great summer programme with lots of volunteering opportunities and training days in the Tamar Valley and is looking for people to help prune, tidy and maintain a number of areas throughout the Tamar Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty - all tools, refreshments and lunch are provided. Dave Readman, coordinator of the Valley Volunteer scheme, says: “We have a great team of dedicated volunteers, but we’re always grateful for a few extra pairs of hands! This year we have introduced a number of training days, as a way of giving something back to our volunteers, providing them with practical skills that they can use while working with us or elsewhere.”

Training days include scythe use and sharpening, strimmer use and maintenance, firewood splitting and stacking, summer tree identification, step building and fencing. For further information, please contact Dave Readman, 07410 411440, dreadman@tamarvalley.org.uk
