Community event volunteers help to connect people to nature and also help people take action to protect nature. Events vary, and include rockpooling, guided walks, eggcase hunts, craft activities, and coastal foraging. Some events are for adults, whereas others are family events. Whatever your interests and skills, if you like nature and enjoy meeting people, we’d love to hear from you!
No specific skills or experience are needed – you just need to enjoy working with people! This is a very flexible role, and you can volunteer as little or as often as you wish and choose which events you’d like to help with.
