Ian
Jelley
,
Reserves Volunteering Officer at Warwickshire Wildlife Trust says, “Are
those end-of-winter blues are getting you down? Well, working with one of
our work parties could be just the tonic you need. We can’t promise that
you’ll find shamrock in our reserves, but once we get to St Patrick’s
Day, there’s a real feel that spring is on the way. Come and feel the sun
on your back and a breeze in your hair whilst you help to maintain one our
beautiful reserves in the company of cheerful, like-minded volunteers.”
