Splatts Abby Wood - Meet Outside The Students’ Union shop - Frenchay Campus
WHEN:

WHAT TO EXPECT:
Do you love spending time outdoors in nature? Are you interested in wildlife and forestry conservation? If yes, then this is for you, even if you have never done anything related to conservation before - all abilities are welcome. It’ll be a great chance to meet other like-minded students, have a positive impact on a local woodland and learn some new skills. A free veggie / vegan meal deal will also be provided on the day. We will be meeting outside The Students' Union at UWE shop and then walking down to a local woodland called Splatts Abby Wood where we will do a day of volunteering together.
What to expect on the day:
Make sure you wear practical clothes and footwear (wellies/walking boots or sturdy trainers), and check the weather beforehand so you can dress accordingly and be as comfortable as possible.
The January, UWE student greenspace volunteers won a prestigious South Gloucestershire Council award for their volunteering at Sims Hill Woodland and Splatts Abbey Wood, which you can read more about here.
WHERE TO FIND US:
