Outdoor Volunteer Work (One Day)

We need your help this Winter!!

We are beginning our annual winter habitat management projects. These involve cutting and clearing areas of fen, marsh and reedbed so we can provide the correct conditions for UK wetland wildlife need for the breeding season next year.

Can you help us clear these areas before Spring arrives?

About you:

  • No experience needed.
  • You must be comfortable working around water, physically fit and steady on your feet. We will be working in muddy areas where the terrain can be uneven.
  • Over 18s only.

What to bring:

  • You will need weather-appropriate clothing and sensible footwear for the wet/muddy ground (we recommend wellies).
  • Work gloves will be provided but feel free to bring your own if desired.
  • Please bring a water bottle.
  • Lunch can be purchased in our Waterside Café or you may bring your own packed lunch to make the most of the 1 hour lunch break.

On the day:
  • Please allow plenty of time for traffic and parking. There is a free car park for visitors/volunteers at the centre.
  • Meet at reception to go through a safety briefing with the team at 10:00am.
  • The volunteering session will run between 10:00-15:00 with an hour for lunch.
  • After the session feel free to explore the rest of the site before closing at 16:30pm.
  • Please note: You will get dirty!
