Conservation Volunteer (Taskforce - Gloucester Docks)

Join the Gloucester Docks Taskforce today and be part of the friendly team maintaining and improving the historical Gloucester Docks. In this role you will be working together on routine activities and practical projects, enhancing the built aesthetic of the Docks and benefitting the natural environment as well. Exercise, being outdoors and working near water is a fantastic way to boost your wellbeing. This is a great opportunity to make a huge difference in your local community whilst learning more about the canals in your area.

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.
