Practical Conservation (ONLY FOR VOLUNTEERS FROM FI,HU,PT,ES,DE,FR)
Ulster Wildlife Trust Limited
Belfast, United Kingdom
Description
EVS volunteers assist Ulster Wildlife in practical conservation activities to manage Nature Reserves across Northern Ireland. The activities are practical and physical and much of the work is outdoors. The tasks change with the seasons (e.g. in winter there is a lot of tree work and in summer there is a lot of grass cutting) and involve the regular use of handtools, powertools and machinery e.g. strimmers, motorized scythes, etc. The Nature Reserves are across Northern Ireland and are different types of habitat, including an Urban Reserve in Belfast. Most of the activities will be on the Reserves or preparing for this work. There may also be the opportunity to spend some time assisting other work of the organisation. Ulster Wildlife encourages their EVS volunteers to undertake a personal project which is of interest to the volunteer and organisation. (Please note - Sending organisations in this project have already been identified)
