Greenteam Volunteers
This programme of midweek tasks is organized by the Harlow Wildspace! team with help from HCV. The tasks concentrate on the local nature reserves and county wildlife sites. This is part of the effort to bring these sites into positive conservation management. The tasks are now held on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays each month, 10am - 3pm.
