Reserve Volunteer, at Mt Fancy Butterfly Conservation Reserve

Mt Fancy, is typical of the Blackdowns with a rich mosaic of diverse and important habitats, ranging from unimproved meadows to the swamps and flushes to the semi-ancient mixed broadleaf woodland The volunteer wardens who look after the management, upkeep and monitoring of the stunning Mt Fancy reserve are looking for volunteers to assist them with:

·        Habitat assessments- assess 150 5m squares within the reserve to create a baseline habitat record to help with future management – no plant ID skills required.

·        Veteran Tree recorder- help to identify and map the many veteran trees found in the reserve and over time collect their details

·        Flora and Fauna recording- if you have expertise or interest in anything likely to be found in the reserve such as lichens, fungi, reptiles or amphibians, birds, bats, small mammals. We would love to hear from you and what you might be able to offer.

Volunteers will require their own transport to the site.
