Get Stuck In volunteering with the BMC
BMC volunteers can give love back to the landscapes we love to walk and climb in through our Get Stuck In days. There's a very friendly, supportive atmosphere at these events and we welcome volunteers from all backgrounds, faiths and ability levels. As a new volunteer you will be teamed up with more experienced volunteers and rangers to carry out the path repair or conservation work.
What type of volunteer work takes place with The Climate Project?
The conservation work involves clearing invasive, biodiversity-reducing species like Molinia grass and rhododendron, collecting plastic tree-guards, clearing bracken to allow newly-planted tree saplings to thrive, and finally, planting carbon-sinking sphagnum moss plugs into soft peat bog with Moors for the Future. This side of the part of The Climate Project from the BMC's Access & Conservation Trust.

The Climate Project Events
Join other BMC members to help National Trust with conservation work on or on the margins of one of the Peak District’s high moor tops, in the vicinity of the Upper Derwent Valley (or on northern Kinder Scout). The work will most likely consist of an activity such as Sitka Spruce (an invasive species) tree removal or Sphagnum Moss planting or tree maintenance (such as guard removal). This is a valuable opportunity to give something back to our treasured uplands and at the same time learn a little about moorland conservation!

What type of volunteer work takes place with Mend Our Mountains Path repair?
Path repair work is massively important to our continued access and enjoyment of wild spaces and it's the reason the BMC's Access & Conservation Trust (ACT) set up the Mend Our Mountains campaign. We have access to 140,000 miles of footpaths and bridleways in England and Wales but - they're eroding fast due to increased footfall and more extreme weather conditions. Path repair work on a Get Stuck In event can be as physically challenging as you want to make it, with volunteers digging drainage ditches, moving stepping stones into place, making steps, re-shaping eroded peat hags, landscaping paths and scattering cairns.
