The Upper Thames branch of Butterfly Conservation is run entirely by volunteers - people like you! Can you help us?

Reasons why people choose to volunteer their time include meeting others with similar interests, learning more about lepidoptera and habitats, gaining skills and experience, and getting out and socialising.

There are many opportunities available, including joining conservation work parties, helping with reserve management at Holtspur Bottom, leading guided walks, recording and surveying, helping at events, and even joining the branch committee. You do not have to commit to hours every week; most roles only require a few hours a month (or even a year). Don't worry if you haven't got the skills or experience required, as free training and support are available for many roles.

If you would like to volunteer, or you have a skill which you think might be useful, please contact Peter Philp at volunteer-coordinator@upperthames-butterflies.upperthames-butterflies.org.uk

Anyone having problems registering or using BC's volunteer system Assemble can contact Peter Philp at the above address.
