Grass Roots: Home

November 2026

At our AGM on 7 November a unanimous vote was taken to close Grass Roots Conservation Group. This decision was taken after a number of years of very low volunteer numbers, and an increasing number of work-days cancelled. We intend to hold a small number of work-days until January, and to have a Spring event to celebrate over 47 years of valuable Conservation work. We aim to wind-up the charity by 1 April 2027.

If you are interested in other practical conservation opportunities, check out these suggestions:

The Conservation Volunteers organise practical work across NI
Ulster Wildlife hold regular volunteer days across their nature reserves
True Harvest are based near Ardglass, Co.Down. They need volunteers to help with seed collections and to grow on the seeds in their wildflower meadow.
Live Here, Love Here organise regular beach and river clean-ups
Woodland Trust look after 50 woodlands across NI
National Trust have volunteer groups at many of their properties
