If you’d like to get involved in helping to look after the Culm catchment, we would love to hear from you! There are a range of volunteer opportunities, such as taking part in vegetation surveys (with Devon Biodiversity Records Centre), getting involved with the community-led Culm Himalayan Balsam Action Group (HBAG) or helping to monitor Nature-based solutions that have been installed in the Culm catchment.

To find out about the latest opportunities get in touch with the Blackdown Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty volunteer co-ordinator, Abby Wilkinson at AWilkinson@somerset.gov.uk or contact hello@connectingtheculm.com
