Somerset EuCAN Volunteers

The EuCAN Somerset Volunteers have been out on regular tasks since the group was absorbed into EuCAN from the BTCV in March 2014. We aim to run a weekly schedule of activities every Tuesday through the year. These are held in south Somerset and on sites in north and west Dorset.

We are always on the look-out for new volunteers – there are so many potential benefits.

For you – good healthy exercise in beautiful places,

and for the wildlife and habitats around us – we work in woodland, grassland, wet places and downland to improve the environment for nature and of course for ourselves.
