Summer 2011 Volunteer Tasks
Hi all, I should start by introducing myself; I’m Alastair and this week I joined the Trust’s environmental warden team. It’s a huge pleasure to be involved in such good work with a great group of people. I was fortunate to meet many of you on our recent vegetation management day with Worcester City Council and I look forward to meeting the rest of you over the coming weeks. Now with summer hopefully about to kick into full swing, there’s a busy season of work ahead of us and below you’ll find a list of projects taking us from June through to August 2011. If you’re not familiar with the new(ish) booking system yet, please have a read and follow the instructions so that we can get as many of you as possible out to each conservation day.
