Volunteering & Training
Want
to get involved and make a difference to your local greenspace? Perhaps
you are an individual, school or community group who would like to participate
in community action? Then why not become a volunteer? Volunteering provides
an opportunity to exercise in the fresh air and learn new skills with
on the-job training.
Volunteers play an important role in the management of Cambridge’s Local Nature Reserves and there are a number of ways you can get involved.
