We welcome students over the age of 18 to work with us in short and long term placements.

Here are some of the areas you can get involved with.

Visitor Centre

Be the welcoming face of the visitor centre by helping visitors and school groups during their stay as well as helping out in the shop.

Habitat management

Give hands-on help around the nature reserve. You may be asked to make ponds, clear scrub or build fences. Sometimes we can get you certified in using specialist machines such as brush-cutters.

Research and monitoring

Help us keep a record of our wildlife by identifying plants and animals, or bird watching.

Archives

We have a huge collection of artifacts and documents at the centre - you can help us curate them.

General help

At the moment our placements are focused on the ranger team. This means helping with surveys, practical work and events. Other tasks may be given depending on your skills and interests.

Whatever your skills, we need friendly and enthusiastic people to help behind the scenes. If you want to help, you can contact us online or visit us at the centre.
