Call Directions Website Contact the organisation

Independent Volunteer Group, assisting the Park Rangers to help maintain and promote the beautiful Bryngarw Country Park in the Garw Valley, Bridgend.

News of Volunteer Sessions and other events at the Park. The volunteer programme has been going since 2005 and has gone from strength to strength, with members of the local community donating their time and efforts to support preserving the park’s natural environment. We meet on the first Saturday of the month. The work is very rewarding and a great way to learn new skills, keep fit and socialise, while helping the environment at the same time. If you have a passion for conservation and the great outdoors and would like to learn more about becoming a volunteer, call the rangers office on 01656 725155 or email: [email protected]

Join us Sat 7th Nov @ Bryngarw Park for a volunteer session! We are clearing out the pond & channels so bring gloves and wear your wellies! We meet 10am outside the café and work thru to about 1pm - with a break so bring a snack and drink.

The Japanese gardens are a beautiful part of Bryngarw's history and the Park volunteers work hard alongside the Rangers every year to clear out the pond, remove overgrowth from the channels and cut back the invasive bamboo 🌿

Beautiful day! ☀️ Thanks to our super volunteers for cutting back loads of rhododendron and dragged it to the wetland areas 🌿.
