Wildlife Trust said, “Why not
spring into action and become more involved with your local nature
reserve? Not only will you
learn more about your local wildlife, the work parties are a great way to
meet like-minded people as each reserve has a team of friendly, regular
volunteers who always welcome new faces.
Spring is a great time to be working outside, all the bird are
singing in the trees and it really makes you appreciate how special our
local wildlife is.”
Events
are free and full training will be given. For
