Practical Reserve Work (Thursday Work Party Volunteer)

We are looking for volunteers to join our Thursday Work Party, undertaking conservation tasks at Marshside and Hesketh Out Marsh.

As a volunteer you will be joining a team to undertake practical habitat management tasks such as:

• Creating and maintaining habitats for wildlife
• Scrub and vegetation clearance
• Creating and maintaining visitor infrastructure, such as paths and benches.
• Following annual work plans
• Following Health and Safety protocols

If you enjoy being outdoors, meeting new people and hands on conservation work, then this role could be the perfect opportunity for you. This role does involve a reasonable amount of physical activity, so will enable you to keep your fitness levels high, as well as helping your mental health and wellbeing. You will have the satisfaction of knowing that you are making a genuine contribution to nature conservation, and you might find it rewarding to safeguard nature in the area you are working to protect.

We are a friendly and supportive team. If you are volunteering to learn new skills and gain knowledge about wildlife conservation work, you will find that our team will be more than happy to help you on that journey.

This role is suitable for over 18s and best suited to volunteers who live nearby. Our volunteers generally live within a 25 mile radius of our Reserve.
