Volunteers....
... are fantastic!!!
The Polzeath Marine Conservation Group is run by passionate folk who volunteer not only their time, but also their skills, talents, ideas, interest, passion, and wonder....... We come from all walks of life, and each of us has a story of how we came to be a PMCG volunteer.....

All our volunteers are amazing, but for those who show an even greater air of awesomeness we have our Silver Lilly Limpet Awesome Volunteer Award. Llily is such a great house guest and along with her, the special volunteer gets a certificate and a small gift too - usually cake!
