RSPB Volunteering Placement (Blean Woods and Seasalter Levels)

We are offering volunteering placements!

Blean Woods is part of a network of woodland surrounding Canterbury that comprises one of the largest blocks of continuous woodland in Kent.

Seasalter Levels is a newly restored wetland to the west of Whitstable that will develop into a key part of an internationally important landscape of lowland wet grassland habitat across North Kent.

We are seeking individuals who are just starting out or changing to a new career in conservation. You will be volunteering 3 days a week for six months. You will have a say in your own development, and we will do our best to accommodate if there are specific areas you would like to work on.

The main emphasis of the placement is build your practical skills as well as your ecological knowledge. This will help you work towards a career in conservation through understanding nature reserve management. You will work alongside our experienced team to create and enhance habitats for key species, including nightingales, heath fritillaries and lapwings. You will engage in practical habitat tasks such as coppicing, glade and heathland management within Blean and scrub control and hydrological management at our Seasalter reserve.

Are you looking to start a career in conservation, keen to play your part in helping conserve nature, and have skills and knowledge you can share? If so, apply for one of our volunteer placements today.
