Well I decided that I needed to do something with my summer, so what better to do than volunteering for trusts. I was told about a group which goes out once a week to a reserve and gets involved with some practical conservation. I thought this would gain me new skills and also allow me to meet new people.
So off I went to the meet up point at 9.30am, we left about 10 and head to Belmont which is towards Burnley. We spent the whole day fixing dry stone walls and digging up more stones. It was hard work, especially in the heat but well worth it!

If you want to volunteer in your area then try looking at large trusts, like the Wildlife Trust or the BTO, you could also see if your council runs a volunteering site for you to apply to. Hope you get out and enjoy the summer!
