Volunteering with ARC in Surrey / Hampshire

PLEASE NOTE: Some habitat conservation tasks are now going ahead, where we are able to adapt the number of participants and working practices to ensure appropriate safety.

Habitat management/surveying for rare reptile species on a range of predominantly SSSI Lowland Heathland sites across the Surrey/Hampshire Weald.

Tasks will vary from week to week but we meet every Tuesday at the Witley Centre from 9am, leaving for site at around 9:30am and getting back to the Witley Centre by 3:30pm.

Please bring suitable outdoor clothes including sturdy boots, long trousers, sun hat/ cream, wet weather gear and a packed lunch/ tea/ drinks.

Contact Bryony Davison Weald Volunteer Coordinator if you have any questions or wish to attend.
