Volunteer Group Dates 2020

This is a list of all the Volunteer Events planned for the year. We meet in the nature reserve car park at 9.30am and finish around 3pm (unless stated otherwise). There is generally a group on the 1st Wednesday of every month and on a further Sunday in the month. We also have some ‘Away Days’ to other sites during the year. Details about each task will be emailed out to everyone a week or so before each event. Please let me know if you are able to come along.
