Come along to our work parties on a Sunday. For the latest information and details are on our current events page.

Also visit the news page and advanced notices for latest information on new social events.

We are a group of people who enjoy a day in the countryside assisting with practical conservation work under the guidance of a Warden. We meet at various National Trust Properties in Dorset, usually on a Sunday. We also help with stewarding at a number of social events at Kingston Lacy and Corfe Castle.

Some members enjoy going to more distant properties such as Stourhead, Golden Cap and even as far as Clumber Park in Nottinghamshire. Sometimes we are invited to join with other groups in various parts of the country. We stay in well equipped base camps.

We also meet for more frivolous events such as pub meals, croquet, skittles and picnics. We have even been known to go to the dogs!

We are of mixed ages and from different walks of life. Anyone who is reasonably fit and 16 or above is welcome to become a member.

No particular skills are required. If you are interested in joining us just contact the membership secretary (details under contacts).

UNDER 16 YEARS?

We welcome young people under the age of 16 at suitable Work Parties if they are working on a conservation project and are accompanied by a parent or responsible adult. This is the decision of the Task Leader and the Warden.

COMPLETED 50 HOURS IN A YEAR?

We receive a volunteer card that gives us free access to National Trust Properties.

We are all friendly and always enjoy welcoming new members, so come along and join us whether you just want to see new places, meet new people, gain new skills or to gain conservation experience for future employment. BNTV has something for everyone.
