Suffolk Wildlife Trusts aims to have something for everyone, therefore we run a variety of engagement activities at our reserves including family activity/event days, activities for tots, teens, school holiday clubs and school visits. As an engagement volunteer your role will be varied and can involve helping the participants to complete tasks such as crafts, trails or finding invertebrate. The focus of our engagement work is to facilitate activities which help develop a feeling of connectivity to nature and a drive to take action for it.
