Herefordshire Wildlife Trust's Nature Action team seeks to give people of all ages the confidence, skills and opportunities to take action for nature, whether that’s by volunteering on our nature reserves, joining us as a member, starting a local action group or making their own garden as nature-friendly as possible.

• Learn something new
• Connect with each other and making new friends
