Help us with Site Management

Looking after our Abbey Fields sites, Croft Close Set-aside County Wildlife Site and Long Meadow, is a major undertaking and we rely on volunteers to carry out the bulk of our maintenance work. If you can help us we would be very grateful – even a few hours of your time makes a big difference to what we can achieve.

We are looking for support in all the following areas:

• Hands on help with habitat management

  • Practical field work – mainly in autumn/winter

  • Adopt a section of our informal path network at Croft Close and keep your path open through the summer.

  • Become a ‘storm chaser’ and visit our sites after major storms to check for tree safety issues.

• Habitat management planning

  • Can you help us develop and run a programme of habitat management?

  • Are you interested in helping develop a site management plan?

• Putting up nest boxes and creating other wildlife friendly features

  • Have you a head for heights and experience using ladders?
