Activities and services:
M NL
BTCV in Oxfordshire seeks to support and
encourage people to volunteer some of their time, skills and enthusiasm,
to create and sustain environmental action within local communities. It
does this by providing individuals with the necessary knowledge, skills,
opportunities and confidence to do so through a range of activities.
Owning no land, BTCV provides a unique bridge between individuals and
their environment, by linking land managers and volunteers. Its
activities result in a wide range of improvements for local communities,
achieved through using the environment to deliver social, educational
and health related outcomes.
In Oxfordshire, BTCV directly delivers a range of Conservation Holidays,
training courses, Green Gyms and one-day conservation projects that are
open to everyone. It also supports around 35 local conservation and
community groups that are members of the BTCV Community Network and
delivers Employee Action Days in partnership with businesses and other
organisations. A bi-monthly e-mail Bulliten is available to everyone.
Further details can be found on the website.
Over the past two years (ending 27-05-09), BTCV in Oxfordshire directly
supported over 470 volunteers, worked with 53 local community groups and
improved 41 locations, resulting in 1,745 days of environmental action
being carried out by volunteers on 316 individual projects.
