Green Guardians – Colwick Country Park

Colwick Country Park is a well-loved, mixed-use green space offering something for everyone, from recreation and leisure to important habitats for wildlife. The park supports a huge array of bird life, along with bats, dragonflies, and even the occasional terrapin. Its varied landscape creates a rich mosaic of habitats, making it a vital space for both people and nature.

What to expect: volunteers will take part in ranger-led conservation and maintenance tasks which may include scrub management, hedge laying, invasive and non-native species control, bulb planting, furniture maintenance, and habitat creation. All activities are guided and suitable for all abilities.

We provide: tools, spare PPE, and light refreshments. Please wear sturdy footwear and cover arms and legs to protect against brambles and other spiky or stinging plants. Remember to bring a drink to stay hydrated.

Time: 10am (sessions last approximately 2–3 hours)
Meet at: Sign up to find out! This meeting location can change weekly
Parking: On-site parking is available at the Racecourse Road entrance. The nearest bus stop is approximately a 12-minute walk away.

You are welcome to turn up on the day; however, we encourage you to register as a Green Guardian on our website and sign up for the event in advance so our Ranger knows to expect you.
