1 Perth & Kinross Council Community Greenspace Scottish Government Volunteers Volunteering Opportunities Working together to maintain, improve and promote our community green spaces for all to enjoy.
2 Page 2 Volunteering Opportunities PKC Conservation Volunteers In Perth & Kinross we re fortunate to have some outstanding greenspaces which residents and visitors enjoy. Volunteering is a fantastic way to get active outdoors and enjoy these places, meet new people, make new friends, learn new skills, get fitter, gain work experience and get satisfaction from carrying out tasks that communities, visitors and the environment will benefit from. We have a diverse range of volunteering opportunities from weeding flower beds in premier parks to essential woodland on some of our SSSI (sites of special scientific interest) woodland sites. Between April 2014 and April 2015 Community Greenspace led 90 volunteering tasks involving 633 volunteers Our volunteers include school aged children taking part in John Muir or Duke of Edinburgh Awards, corporate volunteer groups wanting to do something for the community, people with a passion for improving the environment and biodiversity, people looking to gain some work experience and lots more.
