WYRE FOREST residents are being encouraged to volunteer with nature conservation charity Worcestershire Wildlife Trust this year.
The trust is set to run a series of taster sessions during January and February to provide an insight into what being a volunteer involves.
Joe Gillard, volunteer development officer for the trust said: “We couldn’t do what we do for wildlife without our volunteers.
"Our practical conservation volunteers help to make our nature reserves even better for the wildlife that lives there; with more than 75 nature reserves across Worcestershire, there are opportunities close to home for most people.
“New volunteers will receive a warm welcome and have the chance to make new friends and learn new skills."
Joe added that 'practical conservation isn't everyone's cup of tea' so there are a raft of other opportunities such as admin support and wildlife gardening advisors to get involved with.
