ROLE DESCRIPTION:
Nottingham Green Guardians is recruiting new volunteers to work with our Greenspace and Natural Environment team to improve parks, wildlife sites and nature reserves around Nottingham City district.
Wildlife wardens are the eyes and ears around the city; you will work independently in different locations around your corner of the district to monitor and report back about our local wildlife sites and nature reserves. This helps us inform management to improve habitats and protect nature, as well as highlighting wildlife presence.
Applicants do not need professional experience but, a keen personal interest in wildlife and the environment is essential. Our rangers will help guide you, but this is a self-led volunteer role, so must be able to work independently. Our Warden role is split into 4 opportunities- North (Bulwell, Basford, Whitemoor), South (Dunkirk, Clifton), East (City, Sneinton, Colwick), and West (Lenton, Wollaton, Bilborough, Aspley), so it would be beneficial to highlight which area you are best suited to carry out the duties.
