Gib Hill Nature Reserve community group
Gib Hill Nature Reserve has recently been designated as a Local Nature Reserve, and it needs the support of local people to thrive.
The volunteer group, known as the Gib Hill Guardians, plays a vital role in helping to protect, enhance, and maintain this special space. There are a range of volunteering opportunities available, and everyone is welcome—whether you’re looking to get stuck in with hands-on conservation work or just want to stay informed.
To find out more or to stay updated about upcoming volunteering days, please visit the Gib Hill Guardians Facebook page.
