THINKING OF VOLUNTEERING?
This week is Volunteers Week!
You may well have seen us: we meet in the main car park every Wednesday morning at half past nine, a motley crew in sensible footwear and hi-viz vests.
We sign in, exchange a little gossip about the park’s inhabitants, human, canine and otherwise; we sort out who is carrying what and going where and we set off to the morning’s tasks. We are usually back in the car park around noon, tired and eager for lunch.
Our job is twofold: we keep the nature reserve accessible to all, clearing the paths and mending the gates, while we develop the fields, hedges, waterways and woodlands as wildlife habitat. People keep coming and our species lists keep growing, so we must be getting at least some of it right.
Come and join us on any Wednesday; you’ll be very welcome. You will have to bring your own sensible footwear and your preferred midmorning beverage but we provide the rest. We’re looking forward to meeting you.
