Volunteering taster days or ‘give-it-a-go’ days are designed to allow you to try volunteering in a particular activity, to see if you like it! There’s no commitment to continue after this day if you don’t feel it’s for you (though we hope you do!).

This taster day (on Thursday 15 March, 10am-2 pm) offers you the opportunity to find out what it’s like to volunteer in roles designed to help children discover nature through hands-on nature activities! We need help with things like helping families have fun on the reserve through activities like pond dipping or grasshopper safaris, working with school groups and their teachers on school visits to the reserve or leading our weekly toddler group helping preschoolers and their parents have fun in the outdoors.
