About us
Gloucester Vale Conservation Volunteers (GVCV) is a friendly and diverse group of volunteers who undertake practical, outdoor conservation tasks which benefit the natural environment and improve access to nature. We are affiliated to The Conservation Volunteers (TCV, formerly BTCV), have experienced task leaders and provide all tools and equipment needed by our volunteers.
