NEW Wildlife has been protecting green spaces for people and wildlife since 1986. We are experts in the environmental field, in particular, amphibian ecology and surveying techniques. Volunteers have the opportunity to work with us on projects for Great Crested Newts and gain vital experience working with this protected species. Our sites are also rich in wildlife in general and many other volunteering opportunities are available.

Join the e-team to get involved...

Everyone has something to contribute! You might find yourself...

 

To get involved with practical work in helping local nature conservation, email the Volunteers Officer Cat Lucas or telephone 01352 742115.

 

Volunteer Programme May - September 2010

Due to staff availability Thursday volunteer sessions will gradually phase to a Wednesday. Unless otherwise arranged please meet at Rhydymwyn Valley Nature Reserve at 9am to then arrange transport to the site.
If you are available for any of the sessions please confirm you will be attending on 01352 742115 so we know to expect you on the day.
