The RSPB Volunteering Project is all about giving volunteers skills and experiences in the environmental & wildlife conservation sector that will enhance employability and help break down the barriers to employment.
Some of the activities you can expect include: habitat surveys, wildlife surveys, camera trap analysis, scrub clearance, breeding bird surveys and much more. The skills you can expect to gain include: invertebrate surveying, habitat identification, data recording, species ID (invertebrates, birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians and plants), tool maintenance and management, map reading, submitting data, arcGIS/Field map recording and many, many more.
We will be working on many different projects within the RSPB organisation, where you will meet many different people working in different sectors who can provide specialist insights and become valuable contacts. These projects are working to protect some our endangered species here in North Wales including: curlew, choughs, black grouse, adders, bees, bats, butterflies and many more species.
Who are we? 😊
RSPB Flight Club is a brand-new volunteering opportunity designed to give volunteers the practical skills they need for a career in conservation, enhancing employability and breaking down the barriers to employment. Whether you are looking for a career in the field or simply enjoy being outdoors, this opportunity is a chance to learn new skills, gain experiences, help conserve North Wale's diverse wildlife and have fun!
What do we do? 🌟
We have a wide range of activities developed in conjunction with the RSPB: wildlife surveys, habitat management, camera trap analysis, scrub clearance, breeding bird surveys and much more. These activities will allow you to develop countless practical skills that you wouldn't otherwise learn, some examples including invertebrate surveying, habitat identification, data recording, species identification (invertebrates, birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians and plants), tool maintenance and management, map reading, submitting data, arcGIS/Field map recording - and much more!
Our partners 🤝
Our project is closely linked with the RSPB, allowing our volunteering activities to directly help their conservation efforts. Most sessions will feed into one of the RSPB's larger conservation projects: focusing on Curlew, Chough and Black Grouse, but providing protection to many more endangered species across North Wales. Whatever your interests are - birds, reptiles, insects, plants - we are sure to have a session you will enjoy!
Thanks to the project's link with the RSPB, you will have the chance to meet many people already working as conservationists, providing valuable insights and even contacts for the future, allowing you to build a picture of your future career.
When and how can I get involved? 🤩
We are aiming to run sessions weekly on a Wednesday afternoon - please join our Whatsapp group, follow us on Instagram and sign up to the project here on Undeb for the latest updates and to ensure you never miss an opportunity!
