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.

- acting as committee members - secretary, treasurer, chair, vice chair...
