Volunteers

Almost half of our staff are volunteers who play an essential role in all aspects of the Society’s activities: tour guides, shop attendants, secretarial and administrative support, catering, Christmas staff, production and distribution of leaflets and newsletters, website development, environment and ecological monitoring, photography and habitat management. As a Charity, the Society could not prosper without their dedication. If you would like to play your part as a volunteer click here . This page also shows details of current volunteer vacancies.
