Goldfinch from bird hide


This year has been an excing me for the Milford Conservaon Volunteers (MCV). Somany acvies have taken place, encouraging a wide range of people to become involved at a level that suits them. Membership has just reached over 200, and


members find that they can benefit in several ways: by taking part in conservaon work pares, sharing their wildlife knowledge with others, learning more about the local wildlife by vising the local nature reserves, or by coming along to the social events organised throughout the year.


MCV are a local group of people dedicated to conserving and improving our parish wildlife and environment. We undertake local projects, to improve the local environment across the parish and report on the acvies of local wildlife. As a not‐for‐profit organisaon, MCV aims to protect and enhance biodiversity, encourage a new generaon of young conservaonists, record, monitor and publish our wildlife records.


With this inmind, MCV always warmly welcomes new members (Membership is just £7.50 per person, children and students free).


The MCV website www.milfordcv.org is a great resource, to keep up to date with future acvies and also for some very helpful hints and ps on what wildlife you might see at the nature reserves, including Sturt Pond, Keyhaven Marshes, The Pleasure Grounds, Studland Common & Meadow. Plus help on how to focus your binoculars properly!
