Join the Canal & River Trust as a Conservator Volunteer to assist in maintaining and restoring waterways while learning new skills. This role offers opportunities for physical activity, team collaboration, and making a positive impact in your community through conservation efforts.
Want to learn new skills and help preserve brick and stone structures along the canal? Join us on the South Oxford Canal as part of a team working across our area, from Claydon to Oxford. We will be repointing and bricklaying on structures such as lock chambers and bridges. Join our operations team to gain skills and manpower to maintain grade II listed structures for the community to enjoy and use.
Our Conservators do a fantastic job of ensuring beauty is preserved on our doorstep. This is a great opportunity to make a significant difference in your community while learning more about the canals in your area.
Our Conservator Volunteers help address some of our toughest challenges on the waterways, ensuring that as much of the canal as possible is accessible and well maintained. Each year, we face new challenges managing our increasingly popular space, and your support will help us keep canals vibrant and accessible.
Why we want you
Our Conservator volunteers assist in maintaining our network by conducting heritage and nature conservation activities, as well as everyday tasks like painting or litter picking to improve the local environment.
Some projects involve specific activities such as rebuilding sections of stone wall or planting, allowing volunteers to contribute in different ways according to their interests and availability.
