Volunteers' Week is an annual celebration of the contribution millions of people make across the UK through volunteering in their communities. Taking place from 1- 7 June, it’s a time for us to recognise and celebrate the huge contribution our volunteers make to the work of the Trust and to supporting our local wildlife. And, of course, it’s an opportunity to say an extremely loud and heartfelt ‘Thank you!’
If you have ever wondered how the Trust accomplishes so much with a relatively small team, it's the power of our army of volunteers that provides the answer. The roles they have may vary from mending steps and fixing fences to water vole surveying and sampling groups of sensitive river invertebrates, from entering data and organising group talks to monitoring planning applications and leading us to new levels of organisation. Each and every one of our volunteers makes a valid and valued contribution and we simply could not achieve what we are doing for nature’s recovery without them.
