Project Summary

We meet monthly (dates vary each month) to carry out work to maintain and enhance the reserve. The precise activity is decided a short time before each task date, in order to select the highest priority activity given the weather and circumstances on site.

Project Description

We meet at 10am and usually finish at 3pm, although volunteers may arrive late and/or leave early, but please let the organiser know in advance. Volunteers should provide their own lunch/drinks/snacks, and also provide suitable work gloves and wear "gardening clothes", including stout boots if possible.
The group is friendly and welcoming of newcomers, and the activities cater for those looking for a "green gym" work-out and those looking for a gentler, more sociable time. The reserve has a steep slope running through the middle, and to get to the work site may require climbing 90 steps. Those with concerns about accessibility issues, please contact the organiser to discuss, and we will try to ensure you can contribute.
Accompanied minors are very welcome.
Under normal circumstances, most volunteers do not claim travel expenses, but if this is an issue, please contact the organiser in confidence and arrangements will be made.
All tools are provided and their use is demonstrated in advance. No previous experience is required.
