Project Description

Why we want you

To take part in practical conservation tasks on key sites for the benefit of moths and butterflies.

What you will be doing

  • Carry out practical conservation tasks (cutting scrub, raking, uprooting invasive species, clear felling etc.) as directed by the group leader.
  • Ensure that you understand the work which needs to be carried out on site, why, where and how.

This role is active year round. Practical conservation days (“work parties”) are arranged at intervals during the season, but usually take place between 10am and 4pm on the chosen day. We ask for a minimum commitment to attend 1 work party over the course of one season.
