Nature volunteers support children in learning about, as well as developing love for science and nature.

Learning is hands-on and allows children to get closer to the nature that is around them every day.
To become a volunteer, you need to be at least 18 years old, willing to complete a short training course that is run one day a week, and pay a small fee.
Once training is complete, you can give as little as four hours a month to the project. All volunteering takes place during the week, with details and new opportunities regularly updated on the volunteer site.
