← Well Wetlands project

The Well Wetlands project wouldn’t have been possible without our team of dedicated volunteers.

Their passion for restoring and creating new habitats at Nosterfield Nature Reserve is inspiring.

From propagating plants to improving pathways, our volunteer team has been involved with every part of the Well Wetlands project. 

Committed to conservation

Our conservation volunteers come together weekly to help expand and maintain the precious habitats found at the reserve.

They also undertake a range of tasks to ensure everyone has a great experience when they visit Nosterfield. Our volunteers clear litter, maintain signage and keep the viewing screens and bird hides in tip-top shape.

Two of our professionally qualified volunteers, Pan and Laurie, run our plant nursery. They regularly train their fellow volunteers in everything from plant identification to wetland planting techniques.

Watch the video below to meet some of our volunteers and find out how our volunteer team is an integral part of the Well Wetlands project.

Volunteer training programme

Through this project, our volunteers have been able to expand their skill sets with a series of practical, hands-on training sessions.

This has included:

• plant propagation, cultivation and planting

• plant identification and seed collection

• hedge laying and coppicing

• brush cutter and pesticide training
