A new partnership is inviting residents to connect with nature and boost their own wellbeing.
West Dunbartonshire Council has joined forces with The Conservation Volunteers (TCV) to deliver free volunteering sessions as part of the Biodiversity Action Team programme.
The free sessions will take place every Tuesday and Friday from 10.15am to 2.15pm, rotating between The Saltings, Auchnacraig Woodlands, and Faifley Knowes.

Councillor David McBride, convener of infrastructure, regeneration and economic development, said: "This partnership offers a fantastic opportunity for residents to get involved in meaningful conservation work while boosting their physical and mental wellbeing.
"It is a prime chance to meet people, learn about local wildlife and enjoy time in nature."
Volunteers will be able to take part in a variety of conservation activities, including tree planting, wildlife surveys, repairing boardwalks, and restoring habitats.
Each task supports local biodiversity while encouraging volunteers to stay active, learn new skills, and spend time outdoors.

Councillor Lawrence O’Neill, vice convener of infrastructure, regeneration and economic development, said: "The sessions are open to all and there is no commitment to attend them all, volunteers are free to come along when they can.
"It’s great to spend time in nature and this is an ideal way to do just that."
