About the Organisation
Sutton Ecology Centre
What you will be doing
Volunteers are required to assist with practical habitat maintenance activities at nature sites around the Borough including Sutton Ecology Centre. The type of work carried out varies depending on the season and is based around general gardening and DIY activities. This could include hedge laying, living willow structures, dead hedging leaf raking, litter picking, maintaining paths and managing woodland, pond and meadow habitats.
We are happy to discuss opportunities with new volunteers.
We welcome volunteers from all backgrounds, including individuals who may have additional needs. However as we have limited capacity those requiring support may need to make arrangements to be accompanied.
Age Range: We welcome applications from under 18s, including from 14+.
What's in it for you?
The small team provides a warm welcome to people of all ages and backgrounds looking to get involved with gentle conservation / gardening activities. Whether you are looking to volunteer as part of your Duke of Edinburgh's Award or just want to spend a few hours helping out around local nature sites we would love to hear from you.
