Practical Work Parties
Countryside management within the Brecon Beacons included interesting and challenging practical work parties with Volunteers of all ages and from all walks of life. These are hands on days working with likeminded people often repairing aspects of our park or enhancing the environment to make its use safer or more accommodating.
The Warden Service of the National Park Authority operate weekly work parties throughout the year and these are supervised by Wardens. Volunteers meet the Warden at a pre-arranged venue and share transport to the work site. Typically a group will have a minimum size of 4 volunteers and a maximum of 12 volunteers. Larger groups might well be supervised by two Wardens. Additional work parties for private groups can sometimes be arranged. This type of work is recognised as suitable service fulfilment by those working towards Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme awards.
The type of work our volunteers undertake includes:
- Public Rights of Way maintenance on footpaths and bridleways.
- Conservation tasks on National Park Authority owned sites: thinning and coppicing on woodland sites, grass cutting of amenity sites and acid grassland improvements on areas of common land.
- Training in the Health & Safety aspects of practical work parties will be provided by Wardens and sometimes, more specialised training such as hedge-laying or dry stone walling may be provided.
All the workparties are currently up to completement so we are not recruting new volunteers at the moment.
