All the volutaries that I've spoken to have failed to contact me after initially saying "oh yeah that sounds great, we'd definitely be interested" |
Ahh, yes... The classic problem with the BTCV. Many volounteers who want to do lots, but then keep getting excited by new things and wandering off going "Oooh, shiney!". I think that's why I've failed to persuade anyone from the BTCV to come to this site and enthuse at people directly
Most likely the BTCV will charge you for doing this, to pay for materials and running costs, and it won't be cheaper than doing it with a contractor (sometimes is a bit cheaper, sometimes a bit more), but it is a way to get local biodiversity established in a pond very fast; they'll pop off to other nearby ponds they manage, grab something and plant it out. For such habitats that works really well.
Shame you've been having trouble keeping them on board, though |
