The Conservation Foundation

Promoting positive environmental awareness

The Conservation Foundation was established in 1982 by David Shreeve and David Bellamy to provide a means for people in the public, private and not-for-profit sectors to work together on environmental causes.

Spring clean your garden sheds and trade in your broken and unwanted tools in the Garden Centre Group’s Tool Amnesty in aid of Tools Shed. Between 13 and 28 February tools can be taken to 119 Garden Centre centres all over the country.

The tools donated will be repaired at prisons participating in our Tools Shed project and given to school and community gardens.
