Reserve Volunteer

About The Role

At WWT we believe the best way to inspire people to protect wetlands is to let people experience them up close. At Martin Mere we support over 500 Acres of stunning habitats including wet grassland, reedbed and woodland! Our reserve volunteers are crucial to maintaining this and displaying it all to our visitors!

We are looking for committed Reserve Volunteers at Martin Mere site, to help with a variety of roles! We are currently looking for volunteers that would be available to help on Mondays and Fridays.

Volunteers are an essential part of the WWT team. You'll get a warm welcome, including information on training, equipment and anything else you need.
