UK Nature and Environment

Our footpaths are seeing more footfall and extreme weather than ever before, leading to erosion, loss of habitat for wildlife, trampled vegetation, decreasing biodiversity and soil washing into waterways which can lead to flooding and an imbalance in ecosystems. So wouldn't it be fantastic if you could do something really meaningful to combat this problem? With the BMC, you can!

We now have new dates for our Get Stuck In volunteer footpath repair and conservation opportunities in 2025, as part of Mend Our Mountains and The Climate Project. These are 1-3 day events that give BMC volunteers a chance to give some love back to the landscapes we love to walk and climb in. There are a range of footpath repair and conservation activities decided on nearer the time of the event according to the National Trust rangers who will teach you new skills and work alongside you.

BMC Hill Walking rep and founder of Get Stuck In, Steve Charles, says, "I've been going into the mountains for quite a long time and it's great to be able to give back and feel that you're helping to preserve this environment for future generations. It is under threat and we need to give it tender loving care. It needs to be nurtured, because if we don't do anything, it's going to be in a much poorer state when we hand it on to future generations.
