Volunteering
Volunteer Marine Wardens are an essential
asset to the running of the Purbeck Marine Wildlife Reserve - a
group of trained individuals who work along side Dorset Wildlife
Trust staff. They receive training in topics such as species identification,
marine conservation issues and protection, wardening, cetaceans
and fishing.
Volunteers help with a range of tasks,
including:
- Manning the marine centre
- Patrolling the reserve
- Monitoring research projects and carrying
out surveys
- Helping to deliver our education programme
- Assisting on guided walks and events
- Helping on work parties, such as beach cleans
and reserve maintenance
Volunteers recieve a regular newsletter Kimmeridge
Tidings, and the opportunity to get involved with
other Dorset Wildlife Trust activities.
Volunteering at Purbeck Marine Wildlife Reserve
can be a rewarding experience. If you would like to apply to join
the team as an active volunteer or would prefer to become a Friend
of Kimmeridge, please call in at the marine centre or contact the
wardens on 01929 481044.
