#30dayswild – Volunteering in Bristol

Volunteering in nature is a great way to learn about the outdoors, new skills and to meet other enthusiastic people. It’s free of charge and keeps you fit. I plan to take part in various volunteer events during the #30dayswild month of June. Why not give it a try yourself? I live in Bristol so I have listed events in my area. If you are based elsewhere there is usually information online if you google your local park or Wildlife Trust. Most local parks have a friends group and quite a few community centres have gardening groups. Feel free to add any events I have missed out in the comments section.

Every Wednesday 12-4pm	Trinity Centre Community Garden These workshops are free of charge and there is no need to book – just drop-in. 12pm-1pm: Prepare light lunch together 1pm-1.30pm: Lunch! 1.30pm-2.30pm: Workshop 2pm-4pm: Theory into practice Learn various gardening, cooking and DYI skills, enjoy the urban outdoors, meet new people and share some lovely food together.Herbal tea on tap! https://www.3ca.org.uk/activities/garden/whats-on/community-days
