On September 20th, Maryhill Burgh Halls is inviting families and nature lovers for a day full of free workshops and activities as part of The Conservation Volunteers’ (TCV) Big Green Weekend to celebrate its 60th anniversary. The activities will focus on the activities of TCV Scotland in the field of environmental conservation, education, and health projects, allowing the public to participate, enjoy the fresh air and warmth, as well as appreciation of the local green area.
The Big Green Weekend coincides with the Diamond Jubilee of TCV, a charitable organization that has tirelessly worked to protect and preserve all green space without boundaries in the UK. TCV’s mission comprises conservation, education, and health-related interventions through nature engagement.
References to the value of open spaces were also made by the chief executive of the charity – Darren York:
“Green Spaces are the essence of TCV’s Big Green Weekend which is often founded on the spirit of the individuals that help to look after such green spaces that are increasingly under threat at this day and age.”
The event will commence in the morning with a series of presentations for TCV’s partners and volunteer ambassadors responsible for conservation and research work which will be in-house only and timed to the festivities, celebrating both history and perspectives.
The range of outdoor nature workshops and activities will be open to the public from 1:15 pm till 3:00 pm. These sessions are intended for the visitors that are taught significant appreciation of the ecosystem in relation to wildlife.
As TCV’s Marketing Executive, Ralph Walker noted,
“It’s an opportunity where the public is able to interact, enjoy and learn about TCV the community volunteering charity.”
Workshops and Activities Will Include:
This event is a great way for people of all ages, including families and conservationists, to explore the parks and green areas in their surroundings while familiarizing themselves with the important work of TCV. Furthermore, it is an opportunity to socialize with fellow nature enthusiasts committed to the improvement of local ecology.
The Big Green Weekend has an educational purpose – to make people more aware of the challenges and benefits of the environment and also it thanks all the people who render their services to maintain these places.
As Walker further shared,
“TCV unites individuals, thus building healthy communities. TCV volunteers dedicate their efforts on the everyday green spaces to nurture and protect it from destruction, which is very worthwhile celebrating.”
