About us

We are The Conservation Volunteers

But you can call us TCV. Since 1959, we’ve been a charity creating opportunities for people to create, improve and care for nature in the green spaces around them across the UK.

Our variety of projects cover a bit of everything involving nature. Volunteers muddy their boots in parks, community gardens, woodland, sites of special scientific interest, nature reserves, schools and hospital grounds, helping create a glorious network of protected green space across the UK.

This work connects people with nature, and that connection delivers powerful results.

Our vision

Better nature for all.

Our mission

To connect people together to protect and restore nature, delivering lasting benefits for both.​

  • Protect and restore local environments.
  • Empower others to take action for nature.
  • Improve people’s health and wellbeing through nature connection.
  • Develop conservation and green skills.
