, Reserves Woodland Project Officer at Warwickshire
Wildlife Trust says, “Winter is the most important time of the year
for maintenance work in our reserves, so your contribution is both very
welcome and greatly appreciated. If you find mid-winter a dreary time of
year, then one of our weekend workparties could be just the tonic you
need. You’ll meet new people and learn new skills, as well as making a
real difference to the well-being of the reserves. See you there”.
