Conservation Volunteer Fridays at Samphire Hoe
May 3, 2013
Do you enjoy the outdoors? Are you bored of sitting around at home? Why not become a conservation volunteer? This summer at Samphire Hoe the White Cliffs Countryside Partnership will be holding regular volunteer sessions every Friday morning and would love to have your company.
The mornings work will involve enhancing the site for wildlife through a variety of activities for example, hay cutting, brush cutting and plant monitoring, control of erosion from storms and maintenance to the wear and tear of the site.
Volunteers will be rewarded with friendly company, the odd cup of tea and biscuits and the joy of working outside. The biggest reward of all however is the satisfaction of helping to look after this great wildlife site under the white cliffs of Dover. Everyone is welcome and you can come along as often or as little as you want to; you are not obliged to come out on a regular basis, just to the events that interest you.
