FOR: Griffin Fen Nature Reserve
Griffin Fen is a privately owned 30 acre nature reserve. 1 or more volunteers are required to assist with general maintenance. Flexible times from 4 - 12 hours per week. Various opportunities exist. Would suit either someone that has existing knowledge of the fen/marsh environment and they would enjoy being involved with maintaining the reserve while able to enjoy access to a normally private area; or someone that would like to work and gain experience of the specialised flora or fauna of a Norfolk fen; or someone that is involved in research or studying of this type of environment and feels that their studies would benefit and experience gained. Knowledge of fen wildlife would be an advantage but not essential. For further details please supply some information about yourself, any experience that you have, and what you feel you may gain from being involved with this project. Please send this information to timharber@gmail.com
