Conservation Volunteer (Heritage Brick - South Oxford)
Want to learn new skills and save brick and stone structures along the canal? Join us on the South Oxford Canal today as part of a team that will work across our area, from Claydon to Oxford. We will be repointing and brick laying on structures from lock chambers to bridges. Join our operations team to provide skills and manpower to keep grade II listed structures in good condition for all the community to enjoy and use.
Our Conservators do a fantastic job of making sure there’s plenty of beauty on the doorstep. This is a great opportunity to make a huge difference in your community whilst learning more about the canals in your area.
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.
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.

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.
