Index Home Join IPCC

As a charitable group IPCC relies heavily on the support of concerned members of the public to fund the important conservation, education and fundraising work we undertake. Volunteers play an enormous role in the IPCC by donating their precious time. They help us to raise funds, maintain the gardens in the Bog of Allen Nature Centre and help to carry out conservation management work on the bogs and fens that we own.

If you feel strongly about the conservation and protection of our peatland heritage, the wild plants and animals that it supports, together with the cultural history wrapped up in the bogs - please consider helping us in one of the following ways:
