Michael Drummond, Living Landscapes
Volunteering Officer says, "The start of a new year is a wonderful
opportunity to take stock of what we have been doing and, perhaps,
to decide to do something really different, something that makes a
difference. Volunteering on one of our weekend work parties ticks
both boxes, so why not make this your New Year Resolution? You'll
meet new people, learn new skills, see new parts of the county and
be making a valuable contribution to the maintenance of our
reserves - there are over fifty of them, so WWT Needs You!"
