Would you like to get involved with some of our environmental work around the park?

The Blaenau Gwent Green Team have arranged a series of volunteer days at the park that will enable members of the community to get involved with their planned biodiversity works which are designed to improve the various natural habitats around the park.

As a volunteer you will be helping with a range of important environmental works and also learning some new skills.
