Plymouth Conservation Volunteering 2016

PEA - Plymouth Environmental Action is a conservation organisation based in Plymouth and is run by a committee of dedicated volunteers who have a variety of skills and experiences, all who have a love of nature!

With knowledge in a variety of different conservation techniques and environmental subjects, PEA gets involved in a huge range of outdoor activities and events, all while enabling people from Plymouth and the surrounding South West area to get involved.
