About The Group

The main aim of the group is to conserve and enhance the Three Brooks Local Nature Reserve.

The group consists of volunteers, most of whom live in and around Bradley Stoke, who participate in practical conservation activities on the reserve on the 1st Saturday of each month.

Group activities can include:

  • Hedgelaying;
  • Coppicing;
  • Path clearing (a.k.a. "bramble bashing");
  • Grass cutting using traditional tools;
  • Planting wild flowers;
  • Stream clearing;
  • Making bird/bat boxes;
  • As well as improving the local environment being a volunteer is a great way to get fresh air and exercise and to meet people. An expert from BTCV attends most conservation work days to co-ordinate things, provide tools and to give training where required.

    No previous experience is needed from the volunteers and the atmosphere in the group is very friendly and relaxed, so why not come along to the next event?
