S.W.A.G work closely with the Scarborough Conservation Volunteers who, for many years, have carried out many conservation projects throughout the borough. Without there input past events such as the 'Secret Wood' in Raincliffe Woods would not have been possible, many rights of way, which we use and take for granted, would have deteriorated and the board walks around Throxenby Mere and through Forge Valley may never have been completed.
From our (S.W.A.G) point of view Raincliffe & Forge Valley Woods would be a poorer place without the Conservation Volunteers input.
Meeting every Wednesday and many weekends the work they do is varied and can be any where within the Scarborough Borough. Below are just some of the volunteer days they have planned for 2013.
