are gearing up to the full programmes of work vital for the maintenance
and upkeep of our wonderfully varied reserves. ‘Making a difference’
is something of a buzz-phrase at the moment – and this is just the
opportunity you have been looking for. Regardless of whether you are an
old hand at this work or someone looking for a change of direction, we

friends, you’ll learn new skills and you will end the day knowing that
you have been part of something which genuinely makes a difference – and
will continue to do so”.
