Nature-Force Midweek Workparties
If you have spare time during the
week and enjoy being out in the countryside, why not join
Nature-Force? Our 'Nature-Force' mid-week volunteer group operates
on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays throughout the year.
Transport is provided from Brandon Marsh Nature Centre at 9.00am
with another pick-up on the way to the day's task, returning to
Brandon for 3.30-4.00pm, weather permitting.
Nature-Force gives you the opportunity to
learn a wide variety of conservation skills - such as fencing and
wildlife surveying - with specially organised training days and
includes visits to different Nature Reserves throughout
Warwickshire.
Alternatively if you would like to join the
Brandon Marsh Conservation Volunteers you can join the mid-week
group on a Thursday run by Ken Bond, contact 024 7632 8785.
For further information on weekend
work-parties and / or to book your place on the Nature-Force please
ring the Reserves Team during office hours on 024 7630 8998.
