The Southern Co-operative volunteering day
Protect, enhance, and celebrate the chalk stream headwaters of the Rivers Test and Itchen.
The Watercress and Winterbournes scheme has big plans for protecting the Test and Itchen headwaters, but we need passionate volunteers to make them a reality. Becoming a Chalk Stream Champion is a great way to support our work, gain new skills, and meet likeminded nature lovers.
The time commitment is flexible, and you can try different roles to find the best fit. Most need no existing expertise, and you'll receive training to help you get the most from your time with us. However you participate, you'll have the support of the scheme team, the partners, and a welcoming volunteer community.
Roles include:
- Restoring habitats and access
- Restoring built heritage structures
- Tackling non-native invasive species
- Surveying habitats and wildlife
- Delivering engaging events
- Running talks, walks, and workshops
- Sparking community action
- Delivering education sessions
- Collecting community stories
- Inspiring creative action
- Communicating our progress
- Going wild at work
