No previous experience or skills necessary. You just need a willingness to work outside.

You will be part of a very friendly group of volunteers who usually go for lunch together. There is a lovely social aspect to this volunteering. You'll feel part of a wider team of people that are caring for the nature reserves in Islington and will leave knowing you've done something tangible and important. Plus you can bring friends to the reserve afterwards and point out what you've done! Perfect opportunity for anyone wanting to get into or learn more about biodiversity, working in parks and nature reserves and understanding more about seasonal work. It is also a great form of exercise and gets you moving without having to sign up to a gym.
