Do you love Fleet Pond? Enjoying spending time there? I think we all agree its a great outdoor space and a fabulous asset to our community!

Fleet Pond Society is the voluntary group that exists to protect and manage Fleet Pond Nature Reserve.  We work in a close and positive relationship with the Hart District Council Countryside Rangers to ensure best use is made of the voluntary resources FPS can provide.

Our volunteers work to maintain the diversity of wildlife habitat at the Reserve. This includes keeping the open heath and marsh areas free of invasive species; clearing footpaths of overhanging vegetation; repairing fences and strengthening the banks of streams against erosion.

Volunteers are always welcome at our weekly Friday morning sessions where we carry out a variety of tasks from repairing pathways to clearing saplings from the dry heath and a myriad of tasks in-between. Chocolate biscuits provided!

What skills do I need?

Experience in conservation is not essential. You will need to be physically fit, and be comfortable working with tools and with people of all ages.

Volunteers must be aged 18+.

The work is outdoors, in wet muddy conditions and in all weather so wellies and suitable outdoor clothing are advised!
