Get into Volunteering:
Are you a group leader or member of a group, which meets in either Pendle, Ribble Valley, Burnley or Hyndburn and close to Pendle Hill? Would you like the opportunity to get your group involved in volunteering outdoors in the Pendle Hill Landscape Partnership?
As part of the PHLP's Get Into Volunteering initiative we are offering local groups the opportunities to spend a day volunteering out in the Pendle Hill landscape, learning new skills and enjoying the benefits of fresh air. We are hoping to offer this opportunity to groups who may not have had the chance to volunteer outdoors before, may not have spent much time in their local landscape or maybe haven't even thought about volunteering in the local landscape before.
Opportunities include practical conservation work, wildlife surveys, rural skills and much more.
If you are interested or would like to know more information please get in touch with our Community Engagement Officer.
Email: jayne.ashe@lancashire.gov.uk or call 01200420420.
