RSPB Dearne Valley - Old Moor, Old Moor Lane, Wombwell, Barnsley, UK
RSPB Dearne Valley is a series of eight wetland reserves that run along the river Dearne, creating a corridor for wildlife in the area. Featuring a range of habitats including wet grassland, reedbed, fen and wildflower meadows, the sites support a huge assemblage of wildlife in an urban setting. The warden team manage these habitats using a range of techniques from grazing with our own small herd of Konik ponies to taking out large work parties of volunteers.
We are now at a crucial point in the delivery of a four year NLHF project that’s aims to deliver for both people and wildlife, as well as having just received SSSI status for much of the reserve network. You will be supporting the existing warden team at a busy time to deliver important conservation work in order to support the key species in the valley, including Bittern, Lapwing, Snipe and Marsh Harrier.
What's the role about? . You will work with a large and varied volunteer team as well as our Konik ponies...
