North Bournemouth Countryside Volunteers
 | In the north of Bournemouth lie five very special conservation areas which are managed by Bournemouth Borough Council.
These are:-
Stour Valley
Redhill Common
Kinson Common
Turbary Common
Millhams Mead
All these sites are Local Nature Reserves
Two are Sites of Special Scientific Interest
Two are Special Areas of Conservation
Two are Special Protection Areas
Three are Sites of Nature Conservation Interest
Two are RAMSAR sites which have wetlands of international importance.
All now have a group of volunteers who help manage each individual site with the Countryside Officer's .
The first of these groups were the Friends of Kinson Common who formed in 1999 followed by the Friends of Turbary Common, Redhill Common Conservation Group and Millhams Meaders. A Stour Valley group were formed in 2007.
We hope this website will show how worthwhile our work can be and perhaps persuade you to join one of our groups.
Please use our message board if you have any questions about our volunteer work.
THANK YOU

Bournemouth Wildlife Survey(BoWLS)
Recently the Dorset Wildlife Trust set up an Urban Wildlife Centre.The project is to encourage residents of the Poole /Bournemouth/Christchurch Conurbation to better appreciate the range of wildlife within the borough boundaries-even in our own back gardens and local open spaces. A joint project is being launched to survey all the greenspaces in Bournemouth.The spaces have now been plotted electronically, so it should be possible for groups and individuals to record their sightings to form an important record.Those caring for open spaces will realise how valuable a database of such information can be in protecting these spaces.
Those wanting more information on this scheme can contact:
