What you’ll be doing 

The type of work you’ll be undertaking depends on which reserve you volunteer at, but it will mostly be relatively physical work. 

The skills you need: 

There’s no need to have any prior experience. You’ll be guided and instructed on the day. Ideally, you’ll be willing to work in a team and be relatively physically fit to carry out some of the work. 

What’s in it for you? 

A chance to make a real difference to Suffolk’s wildlife, meet new people, learn new skills, find out more about and get closer to wildlife, be part of a great team and get an insight into the work we do at Suffolk Wildlife Trust. 

The time you’ll need to give: 

Hours and times vary from site to site – please contact the Volunteering Support Officer with your preferred location below to find out more. 

Other information: 

Full training, tools and protective clothing are provided as required but please bring wellies or stout work boots, waterproofs, water to drink and a good-sized packed lunch. Working outside always makes you hungry!
