Eddie Asbery, Woodland Project Officer
says, "It doesn't matter whether March comes in like a lion -
roaring winds and driving rain - or like a lamb - balmy spring
sunshine and gentle breezes, the maintenance and management of our
reserves continues. However, with 50+ reserves to look after, we
need all the help we can get - which is where you come in.
Volunteers, well-established ones as well as new recruits, are
always welcome on our work parties so if you haven't joined us
before, why not try out with one of our work parties this weekend?
You'll make new friends, learn new skills and be making a
much-needed practical contribution to the good management of the
reserve where you choose to help and its residents will love you!
Give us call right now."
