| What do I need to bring with me? | If you are joining a nature reserve group, bring a packed lunch and steel toe cap boots or wellies. All tools and gloves will be provided. |
| When can I start? | Anytime you wish, just ensure you have completed a registration form and Beth Adams has contacted you. |
| Do I need to attend every session? | No, we let you choose how often you come along, although it is beneficial for The Trust if you let us know when you can't attend. |
| Do you provide transport to the location? | Unfortunately we don't have the resources to pick up volunteers, you will need your own transport to get you to and from the site. |
| Why do I need to complete an emergency contact form? | This is used only in the case of an emergency whilst you are out on site in order to contact a next of kin. |
| Will I receive training? | You will receive training in order to carry out the role, sometimes there may be ad hoc in-house training, for example species identification. |
| How will I know where to meet? | Indoor volunteering will usually be based at the same place each time, usually Robinswood Hill. If you are a nature reserve volunteer, the reserve manager will inform you of this in plenty of time. |
| Do I need any experience? | No, but if you have a skill that you think could help, please let us know. |
| Are there weekend opportunities? | Very few, most of the volunteering opportunities are during the week, there are some ecological surveys that take place on the weekend . |
| I don't consider myself very fit, can I still come along? | Certainly, for nature reserve volunteering you will need a basic level of fitness, but certainly don't need to be super fit. |
| I don't know much about wildlife, can I still volunteer for you? | Of course, we can teach you about wildlife as we go along. |
| Will I be working as part of a team? | Yes, even with administration, you will be working alongside the staff team. |
