Role

Dams to Darnley Country Park Volunteer

Group / Organisation

Dams to Darnley Volunteers

About the role

This is a really varied and interesting opportunity if you like the outdoors, nature, working with your hands etc. and the volunteers are the backbone of the Country Park. Their work is greatly appreciated by everyone who visits as it keeps the area an amazing greenspace for everyone to enjoy. Activities vary depending upon the time of year and what needs done. Previous volunteer days have included pond creation and management, tree planting, painting, litter picking, woodland and vegetation management, habitat improvements etc.
In spring and summer there are opportunities for volunteers to take part in wildlife surveying for wild flowers, water voles, butterflies, bumblebees, amphibians etc.
We also visit and help at other parks and the members get special events put on just for them such as bat nights and Xmas campfire cook-ups.
The group meet every Thursday at 10am and finish at around 2pm and all tools, equipment and PPE are provided, as is training when needed. There's no prior experience needed and no expectation to come every week - some of the group come weekly, some monthly, some when they can.
