Join us for a practical outdoors wildlife conservation activity.
About this Event
This session is for volunteers both familiar with STAA and those who are completely new. Come along to help us regularly, just this once, or to try something out! *
October is the best time to look after our many ponds! This session will be a mix of clearing in and and around the ponds, so wellies are definitely optional!
This task can be a but messy so old clothes are a good idea (but less messy jobs also available!)
We are also hopeful for the sighting of an odd frog or newt :)
Suitable for all skills and abilities: the session is practical and will focus on improving the habitat of the wildlife areas. You will be given all tools and information you need (though feel free to bring your own gloves if you like).
Meet at Ransom Road entrance for 10am.
Booking is essential, and please be prompt!
Any questions, please email us at [email protected]
* We provide inductions for volunteers to attend to learn all about STAA and our volunteering programme - if you like the session, and hope to return, we will ask you attend an induction within roughly the first 3 sessions.
