PLEASE NOTE: ARC is following changes in government guidance closely.  We regularly review where there may be opportunities to run some activities with additional modifications to ensure they comply with recommendations on minimising risk due to Covid-19. Activities will only be run, where it is safe to do so, as we must continue to put the health and safety of volunteers, staff and the public first.  Practical volunteer tasks and public events are being considered on a case by case basis in line with Government guidance


Details of upcoming events are shown below. To register to receive updates about future events, volunteering opportunities, fundraising appeals and other conservation activities visit our ARC updates page.
