National Volunteers’ week

Tuesday, June 7th 2011

Volunteers’ Week is an annual event which celebrates the fantastic contribution that millions of volunteers make across the UK. The Week plays a huge part in raising the profile of the millions of volunteers who regularly contribute to society, while inspiring others to get involved too. At Foxglove, volunteers are absolutely vital to the everyday running of the reserve and their help is really appreciated.

Making up mink raft clays, painting signs and waymarkers, pruning back along net rides, strimming along paths and installing posts are just some of the tasks that were carried out today. Volunteers also help out with surveying, administration, meeting and greeting and fund raising. If you would like to get involved please get in touch.
