The Wednesday volunteers undertake a variety of conservation projects, including tree planting, scrub clearance, coppicing, fencing and hedging laying. The volunteers can be men and women of all ages and abilities.
Ponds are an important but threatened habitat.
Many are deliberately filled in or are silting up by neglect. They provide home for a fauna including amphibians and dragonflies, and a drinking and bathing place for birds. Bats may be attracted by the insects flying over the water. There is a rich flora which flourishes in the conditions provided by a pond. The Wednesday Group has undertaken a major project to construct a new wildlife pond in a glade in Chapel Wood, Ampfield.
