1 , ClosedDeskrizzjoni tal-proġett
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)

please email: - full CV (without "personal" / "sensitive" data due to GDPR) - full motivation letter which is specific to the project to mhegarty@brysongroup.org (NOT Ulster Wildlife) stating in the covering email that you are applying for the 2019 Ulster Wildlife Practical Conservation placement
IttraduċiInformazzjoni addizzjonali
Pesticides/herbicides are used in practical management of nature reserves in the UK and within Ulster Wildlife Reserves. The Northern Ireland Environment Agency (part of our local government) insist that these are used for removing scrub and invasive species, but we are aware that in some countries this is not the normal practice and volunteers applying for this placement must be comfortable with this approach. Volunteers receive appropriate training for all their activities, including the safe use of pesticides, and are provided with appropriate clothing. IttraduċiLinks relatati
