BTCV
British Trust for Conservation Volunteers

T

he BTCV is a charity supporting practical conservation work by volunteers throughout Britain. It supports many local groups across the country, runs training courses, and organises working holidays.

The series of BTCV practical handbooks are the definitive publications giving comprehensive information about practical management tasks. They are highly recommended by Naturenet. Astoundingly, these books are now fully on-line - see the links below.
