Over the last month we have been working with our corporate partners, GRS Trading Ltd, developing a team-building volunteer project for their staff that would give them a unique opportunity to learn new skills and work together to achieve an end goal. Approximately 60 staff have given a combined 350 volunteering hours and helped the Estates Team with work that will help to support the banks of the River Bulbourne, a chalk stream and globally rare habitat.
During the mornings, GRS volunteers collected and bundled coppice material which they then helped to install along the River Bulbourne in the afternoons. The purpose of these bundles is to support and protect the riverbanks from erosion and encourage natural siltation. This work helps to improve biodiversity, reduce the risk of flooding and creates a valuable habitat for wildlife.
Volunteering projects like this bring people into contact with the outdoors and give them a chance to learn new skills with the support of our friendly team. If your staff are happy to roll their sleeves up and get stuck in, then we can offer worthwhile an enjoyable volunteering opportunities that will help us improve the land for visitors whilst maintaining important wildlife habitats. The work of the Box Moor Trust aims to attract wildlife and increase the biodiversity of the local area whilst making the land open and accessible for the local community to enjoy. We also offer environmental awareness opportunities to instill a lifelong enjoyment of nature and the environment.
We are happy to work with you to find a project that you feel would fit with your organisation’ core values and help you to provide employee engagement programs to enrich both the organisation and its people. You will also make a difference to a local charity that strives to make a positive impact on the environment.
