Volunteering is a great way to learn new skills, visit sites you've not been to before, get some exercise and see lots of different wildlife!
All sessions start at 10am and usually last until 2pm. Please wear suitable work clothing and bring waterproofs, a packed lunch and something to drink. A flask for hot drinks will be available. There are no facilities on these sites, so bring everything you need with you. We will provide all tools and equipment needed and it is free to come along!
If you would like more information, please email us at [email protected] or call 0115 9152733.
