To care for and maintain Bolton's natural habitats and wildlife.

Based in Bolton, Lancashire, the Bolton Conservation Volunteers (BCV) was established in 1976 to care for and maintain Bolton's natural habitats and wildlife. Over the years the group has evolved and grown to be one of the oldest and most respected groups of its kind in the country. Our work has taken us across Lancashire, Salford, Manchester on regular tasks, and even to Derbyshire, Flintshire and Cumbria on our working weekend residentials. In addition to carrying out practical habitat management tasks we have regular indoor meetings to discuss issues affecting the group and often have guest speakers from groups such as the RSPB, BTO, and Wildlife Trust.
