Hi all, here is our volunteer task list for the months March to May 2011. Spring is now on its way and this means that coppicing and hedgelaying are coming to an end for this winter but we do have work at some new sites coming up which we hope you will enjoy. Please note that there will be no tasks over the Easter break due to staff holidays. We apologise for any inconvenience or disappointment but hope you will appreciate that with a small team of staff that this is unavoidable. Please read the following information on our new booking system for existing and new volunteers, hopefully ensuring that we are not overbooked for any of the tasks.
IF YOU ARE AN EXISTING VOLUNTEER
Please leave a message on 01905 730602 to confirm your attendance and whether you require a vehicle space if you wish to join the Trust on any of these tasks before Tuesday 8.00am.
IF YOU ARE A NEW VOLUNTEER HOPING TO JOIN THE TRUST AS A CONSERVATION VOLUNTEER (ON A WEDNESDAY)
Please contact Anda Phillips, our Volunteer and Community Co-ordinator, on 01905 730601 or email her at volunteer@dwt.org.uk at least a week before the Wednesday you wish to come out volunteering. This is so that she can arrange for you to have a volunteer induction and confirm availability.
