Exmoor Conservation Volunteers Partnership (ECVP)

Exmoor National Park Authority runs a partnership of key public bodies and charities who together manage large parts of Exmoor.  Together these organisations make up the Exmoor Conservation Volunteer Partnership (ECVP).  The organisations currently signed up to the scheme include  The Crown Estate at Dunster, the National Trust at Holnicote, the South West Lakes at Wimbleball Lake, the Somerset Wildlife Trust and the Exmoor Moorland Landscape Partnership

How do I Get Involved?

As an Individual (over 18’s).

You can book onto any of the tasks that are designated as ‘Open to All’ straight away.  If you would like to get involved in other tasks you can register as an Exmoor Conservation Volunteer by attending one of the Volunteer Induction Sessions.

You can take a Look at the Volunteer Calendar to get an idea of the tasks we carry out.

If you would like to have an informal chat about helping then contact Exmoor National Park Authorities Volunteer Co-ordinator, Patrick at pwatts-mabbott@exmoor-nationalpark.gov.uk or on 07973727469.

Under 18’s.  I’m afraid we are unable to take on under 18’s on their own; however some events are open to families where you can attend with your parents.  To see a list of these and to book on see events that are Family Friendly Volunteering.

Groups.  If you are the leader of a group (adults or children) then contact Exmoor National Park Authorities Volunteer Co-ordinator pwatts-mabbott@exmoor-nationalpark.gov.uk or on 07973727469 to discuss what your availability is and how you can best help.

Do you run a community group, or charity on Exmoor? - Do you need new volunteers?

If so contact Exmoor National Park Authority's Volunteer Co-ordinator pwatts-mabbott@exmoor-nationalpark.gov.uk or on 07973727469 to discuss your group becoming affiliated to the Exmoor Conservation Volunteer Partnership.
