Wild Ground is pleased to launch a new Supported Volunteering project, thanks to a Volunteering Wales Grant, funded by the Welsh Government and administered by WCVA.
From spring 2026 to 2028, we are running an exciting new project designed to make conservation volunteering more accessible. This initiative is especially for people who want to get involved in nature conservation through volunteering, but need some extra support to take the first steps.
The project focuses on individuals who are neurodivergent or living with mental health challenges, such as anxiety, depression, low confidence, or social isolation, which can make joining a volunteer group feel overwhelming.
Participants will receive tailored, one‑to‑one support to help them move from initial induction into fully taking part in our group volunteering sessions across our Wrexham, Flintshire, and Denbighshire nature reserves.
Volunteers will be able to take part in a wide range of conservation activities, including:
- Managing woodlands and wetlands
- Creating habitats and homes for wildlife
- Taking part in wildlife surveys
- Helping maintain green spaces so visitors can enjoy them
These sessions are designed to build confidence, support connection with others, and enable volunteers to achieve their personal goals through being involved.
