How Can I Help?
There are a number of ways in which you can get involved:
- Practical conservation tasks are held at most of the LNRs throughout the year
- LNRs have a "friends of" group that meets regularly and which you could join or help by taking and/or typing up the minutes
- Opportunities exist for becoming a Volunteer Ranger/Warden; please contact the relevant friends group
- You can help by sending in your observations of flora and/or fauna, or helping with recording and monitoring work on the site
- You could take photographs of the site, the variety of habitats and scenes throughout the seasons and some of the plants and animals.
If you witness a wildlife crime contact the 01772 618393 or 01772 614444 (24 hour switchboard), and keep a record of the relevant lognumber.
