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 1st and 3rd Wednesdays each month, 10am - 2-3pm.
The GreenTeam task programme is also listed in the HCV newsletter downloadable as a PDF from the Programme page.
Note: late changes not in printed programme are highlighted in orange.
