The work of our volunteers is part of the network that keeps our National Parks going. Our team of dedicated volunteers contribute to long-term programmes of essential work: maintaining footpaths, controlling invasive plant species, clearing litter, and managing habitats for the benefit of wildlife. It isn’t all about damage limitation, though that is a vital element. Much of our work involves practical enhancement and our training programme helps inspire and deepen people’s knowledge and appreciation of Snowdonia, its heritage, habitats and wildlife.
Since the Snowdonia society’s formation over 50 years ago our practical conservation programme has gone from strength to strength. We now deliver several activities each week, enabling hundreds of people to give thousands of hours of their time towards looking after Snowdonia each year. Volunteers have the opportunity to give something back to Snowdonia and explore and enjoy some of the most beautiful and special areas in the country. They also gain practical experience, knowledge, confidence and a range of skills which boost their employability.
The achievements of our Helping Hands volunteering programme were recently recognised with the award of Highly Commended at the Campaign for National Parks 2018 Park Protector Awards.
The Snowdonia Society, established in 1967, is a member-based registered charity working to protect and enhance the beauty and special qualities of Eryri and to promote their enjoyment in the interests of all who live in, work in or visit the area both now and in the future.
