Get involved as a volunteer at Taynish NNR.

Volunteer

Why not join us as a volunteer at Taynish NNR?

There’s always a lot going on, and we would really value your help. You’ll get involved with a range of tasks:

rhododendron and beech removal
drystone walling
path work
creating a range of habitats for nature
surveying and monitoring
working with visiting groups
assisting with events and guided walks

Our volunteer work party meets on Thursdays and you’ll be made very welcome. If you’re interested, please do get in touch.

We’re also looking for a volunteer to help with butterfly and dragonfly monitoring at Taynish in the summer months.

Give us a call to find out, what’s involved, how much time it will take, and what training may be offered.
