We are lucky enough to have a fantastic team of lovely and dedicated volunteers to help us manage Hampton Nature Reserve,
getting stuck into practical jobs in the winter and assisting
with surveys over the summer.
Hampton Nature Reserve volunteers meet on Thursdays and every
other Saturday to carry out maintenance, practical habitat
management and surveying on the Reserve. We're currently
preparing for next spring's Big Newt Count meaning we need extra
help - check the events calendar for information on additional
sessions.
As well as playing an important part in conserving the habitat
to benefit the various species living there it is also a great
way to relieve stress, meet like-minded people and get some
exercise!
There are no special requirements and anyone can join in, we
just ask that under-18s are accompanied by a parent or guardian
and for everyone to let us know if they're coming (that way we
can let you know where to meet or if there are any
changes/cancellations).
Please wear outdoor clothes and strong footwear and bring waterproofs
or sunscreen as appropriate. We'll provide tea and coffee
(and
biscuits, of course!) but please bring your own lunch. Please note there are
no toilets on site.
