No special skills are required to take part in our task days, but plenty of enthusiasm, energy and a desire to help conserve ’s wildlife. The tasks are suited to all levels of physical ability and volunteers are encouraged to do the task at their own pace. Children under 16 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at all times. Some tasks may be unsuitable for children so please check in advance with the warden.

What you will need: Wear old clothes and strong shoes, (wellies may be needed) bring a drink and packed lunch if you plan to stay all day, and waterproofs (just in case).
