Conservation Volunteer (Become part of the Wednesday Uplifters Team!)
Want to become a regular volunteer team member at Anderton Boat Lift?
As a regular team member of the ‘Wednesday Uplifters’, volunteers will meet on Wednesday’s at Anderton Boat Lift, to help complete grounds maintenance from weeding and planting, to looking after veg plots and landscaping. There is no commitment to attend every Wednesday, and you will get to work alongside our existing team of volunteers, make new friends and gain new skills along the way.
Why we want you
Our Conservator volunteers help to maintain our network, carrying out important heritage and nature conservation activities as well as everyday tasks to improve the local environment such as painting or litter picking.
Our Conservator Volunteers help to tackle some of our toughest issues on the waterways, ensuring as much of the canal is accessible and well maintained as possible. Each year we face new challenges in managing our increasingly popular space and your support as a Conservator Volunteer will help to achieve our goals in keeping canals alive.
Whilst we have regular teams carrying out important tasks, some run on more of a ‘project’ basis to achieve specific activities (rebuilding a section of stone wall or carrying out some mass planting) meaning that different people can give their time in different ways.
