What we do

We are a non-profit charity of 40 years and we hold tasks every Sunday in and just outside of Cardiff. We teach skills such as drystone walling, hedge laying, fencing, construction work, litter picking etc. Everyone gets something different from the effort they put in. For some, the social side of working together with like minded people is their reward. Others have said that they love the feeling that they have made a positive difference by improving aspects of the local countryside for all to enjoy. Many members enjoy keeping fit whilst enjoying the countryside around them. The practical skills learnt by all have actually lead some members to full time employment within a conservation role. What would you get out of it by joining us on a task? The only way to find out is to come along and discover for yourselves!

Our primary aim is to promote the conservation, protection and improvement of the physical and natural environment anywhere, whilst having an enjoyable time doing so.
