Get Involved

Volunteers are central to Nature Recovery – the conservation sector, and projects like LIFE WADER simply couldn’t run without them.

There are many benefits to volunteering. Here are just a few:

All equipment and training provided.

Convert from a climate worrier to a climate warrior! Taking action is the best way to ease the anxiety we feel for our natural world.

Gain career experience – enhance your CV and improve your employment prospects.

Improve your wellbeing, protect your physical and mental health and reduce the impact of social isolation. Volunteering is proven to make you happy, as levels of good hormones and brain activity spike during volunteering.

Meet like-minded people.

Learn new skills e.g wildlife surveying techniques, tree planting, first aid, fencing and management of invasives.
