Our Coast care volunteers showcase their talents in a feature in the new 2023 issue of @thisisnland https://t.co/5Ta12LO04Q every copy sold makes a donation to the "coastcaretrust" to resource and equip our volunteers, it would make an ideal Christmas present!

18 bags of dog poo...!? Not our idea of fun 😔 Volunteers have noticed a worrying increase in bagged dog waste along the Northumberland coast. We're asking anyone using the beaches for dog walking to please bag it AND bin it! #ifyoubagitbinit

The volunteers did a sterling job on nature reserve habitat management recently. Here's the team cutting vegetation, clearing brambles and brushcutting to improve grassland, encourage wildflowers & make the area better for the grazing exmoor ponies! #volunteer #aonb #conservation

Fantastic new skills learned at our Bearded Reedling nest box building day! These things are truly sustainable as they're made from harvested reeds!

A group of volunteers and some of the AONB team recently cracked on and built a Barn Owl box, outstanding work! These boxes provide valuable nesting environments, here's hoping we get some residents in this one!

A wonderful day's work from the Wealth Management from St James' Place! They worked with volunteers Chris, Jo and Rob to help tackle Pirri Pirri burr in the dunes and pick up litter from the beach.
