About Us

Conservation: Helping the planet, and animals to survive naturally without being damaged by humans.

The Conservation Society (or ConSoc) is a group with a passion for wildlife and the environment. We volunteer with a number of organisations including Friends of Crosby Beach, Friends of Sefton Park, New Ferry Butterfly Park, Sefton Council, Gems in the Dunes, and many more. This society has also won the Society of the year award 2020!

Regular volunteering opportunities involve: nature walks, beach cleans + litter picking, bird watching, and varying types of habitat maintenance from the removal of invasive plant species to learning new skills like hedge laying. Along with this, we also take part in one-off events throughout the year. Previously, we have joined in with the Big Autumn Beach Clean, visited a local nature reserve to look for Great Created Newts by torchlight and built up ID skills with the Amphibian and Reptile Conservation organisation. Due to our fundraising, we have won two awards from the SU!

Aside from volunteering, we love to host socials which range from fancy dress nights, crazy golf, quizzes, movie / documentary nights and, of course, going to the pub ! (drinking not required)

Key Information (When, Where and How Often We Meet)
