Assistant River Cray Project Officer Joanna Barton is seeking help during February with conservation work on our important local river and wetland habitats.
Assistant River Cray Project Officer Joanna Barton said ‘New volunteers are always welcome, all equipment is provided and refreshments are available afterwards. It’s a great opportunity to get a different perspective on our local water bodies and to contribute to keeping them in good condition for wildlife, and for people to enjoy looking at .’
