Greenham and Crookham Conservation Volunteers

Voluntary conservation work on Greenham and Crookham Commons near Newbury, West Berkshire. Much of the site is the former Greenham Common Airbase, famous for cruise missiles and peace protesters, but a parish boundary runs right across the area so it is actually two adjacent commons, hence our name. The commons are now owned by West Berkshire Council, and we work with the site Ranger.

NEW VOLUNTEERS WANTED !!!

We meet at 10 am on the third Sunday of each month and usually work until about 4 pm, but there is absolutely no obligation to stay all day. Much of the work is the good ol' favourite: tree and scrub-bashing to prevent the heathland reverting to woodland, but we do a range of other tasks too.

See our website www.gccv.org.uk for more detail including information about Greenham Common, dates, directions etc.
