WeeklyOur Nature Discovery Centre is set in the huge expanse of Essex & Suffolk Water's Abberton Reservoir which is one of Europe's top wetland sites. It is of international importance as a safe haven for wild ducks, swans and other water birds, whether resident, passing through on migration or over-wintering. It lies close to east-coast migration routes and, with its surrounding envelope of pasture and tree plantations, is a welcome sight to tired birds.
We are looking for “people who like people” to assist on our welcome desk and small retail area on Saturdays. We give full training and want all our volunteers to feel part of our team.
Build your confidence and skill sets in new areas for a job change or getting back to work, come along to enjoy meeting and greeting people.
Be part of the team that is looking after a Wilder Essex.
Our centres are not profit making. All money raised goes directly back into managing conservation across Essex.
When can I volunteer?
We are looking for volunteers who are available on Saturdays. We generally have volunteer sessions between 10:00 – 13:00 and 13:00 – 17:00 but if that is not convenient we can chat!
Interested? We would love to hear from you!
To express an interest in volunteering at Abberton Reservoir Nature Discovery Centre please email volunteering@essexwt.org.uk in the first instance.
Please note our minimum age limit for volunteering in our centres is 18 years.
