REPAIRING footpaths, mending fences and cutting back bracken are some of the projects being undertaken this summer by British Trust for Conservation Volunteers.

On May 7, 8 and 9, volunteers are needed to help install a deer-proof fence around coppiced land at Howe Ridding, and the week after people are needed to help clear rhododendrons at Fox Ghyll.
