Environment Group
PAWARA Environment Group relies on a small group of dedicated volunteers and we are very grateful for their help. There are occasions when we are unable to complete tasks and schedule additional sessions to finish the work or it has to be left.
We welcome new volunteers who would enable us to do more and take on new projects. It is not necessary to have experience of conservation work and there is no obligation to attend every session.
Litter Team
We have monthly litter picking sessions for one hour on the third Sunday of each month (fourth Sunday in November). That is an easy way for residents to help keep the area looking presentable. Some residents have their own litter pickers and adopt an area near to then. If litter collected is reported to PAWARA we can include it in our records. Residents can also help by reporting large amounts of litter to PAWARA so that litter picks can be arranged to clear it.

We need residents who can help to organise activities that will be of interest to and benefit the local community. You may have ideas of your own that can be taken forward.
We also need residents to form the committee. Don’t worry if you have no experience. Committee members can find out what is involved and gain experience before taking on specific roles.
