The purpose of the project is to raise awareness of environmental issues and the importance of biodiversity. The volunteer will develop his/her knowledge of the importance of having a rich variety of plant and animal life in an area, to develop skills in creating healthy ecosystems and an awareness of the health benefits of these practices. The volunteer will work three days a week in the Farm or Market Garden at Glencraig in order that he/she can develop skills in working outdoors in a natural environment with others. One day a week will be for training and development, see below for further information. The final day of the week the volunteer will be responsible for developing projects on their own or with others. The project coordinator will provide support for the volunteer with these projects. The volunteer will be involved in working with different groups by preparing the activities, working with the groups, carrying out evaluations of the activities.
