Working Party
Occasionally we need a group of people to help clear fallen trees, repair infrastructure and build new wildlife habitat. Photography We take photos of the Reserve in our day to day work, but none of us are professional photographers. If you could volunteer the time and have the equipment to capture some wonderful images of the Reserve and the species that live here, we would be delighted to hear from you. |

Open Weekends and other Events
Events Supporting the Hospitality Manager, Sian, at events on the Reserve. Every year we hold our Family Open Weekends. These provide a wonderful opportunity for members of the public to come and find out more about our work and get involved in some hands-on activities. Volunteers are essential to the success of these weekends. We need help with car parking marshalls, assistants with owl pellet dissection and pond dipping and much more. If you would like to be part of this vibrant and rewarding educational weekend please get in touch. For more information about our Annual Educational Open Weekends visit our Open Days page. |
Social Media
Do you have a few hours to help us develop our social media marketing? We would welcome some professional advice to help to maximise our use of Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
Or if you love Social Media and you have had a great day at Kingfishers Bridge, do share with your friends, upload your photos and tag us. You may just capture a rare species that we haven’t yet spotted on the Reserve, and we’d love to know.
