Conservation Volunteers
Community Led Conservation
The Burrenbeo Conservation Volunteers is an active voluntary community that works towards the sustainable management of the Burren by addressing key conservation issues and needs in the region.
Why do we need BCV ?
The Burrenbeo Conservation Volunteers (BCVs) was born out of a need for hands-on conservation workers. In a region of decreasing rural population key conservation issues such as scrub encroachment and the rebuilding of stone walls are becoming harder to tackle. Furthermore, due to the sheer magnitude of practical work needed researchers have identified an increasing need for scrub clearance to enable a continuation of archaeological and ecological surveying. Gaining sufficient knowledge of what actually exists also aids experts. BCV often undertakes surveying work on behalf of research scientist thus aiding a greater understanding of thVolunteers are the new 'eyes on the ground'. By training groups of volunteers Burrenbeo is actively supporting a sustainable future for the Burren.
Everyone is welcome to get involved - the more the better, so come join us!
