Activities

'It carries out activities or services itself'

'the advancement of education','the advancement of environmental protection or improvement'

LCV undertakes practical nature conservation activities in and around the Lothians (and occasionally further afield). We provide transport, tools and training to allow volunteers to do this work, supporting colleagues in councils and other organisations with land managed for conservation in achieving their goals. In the 2024/25 year we provided 652 volunteer-days of labour on 59 tasks for 23 different clients. Example activities include invasive species removal, path maintenance, tree planting/maintenance, pond management and many more.

Beneficiaries: 'No specific group, or for the benefit of the community'

Objectives: The organisation's purposes are: 4.1 To advance environmental protection and improvement in the Lothians and elsewhere for the benefit of the environment and the public by doing practical work to create and maintain nature reserves and other sites of biological, scientific or environmental importance. 4.2 To advance the education of the public in the principles and practice of environmental conservation by providing volunteering opportunities and training in practical conservation skills.
