Restore Hereford’s brooks through hands-on habitat management, litter picking and invasive-species control. You’ll work outdoors alongside volunteers, with training provided where needed - and may occasionally help rescue fish when water levels are low.

Volunteers will support Herefordshire Wildlife Trust and other volunteers to improve the condition of local Hereford Brooks as part of the Hereford ~ River City project. The role centres on practical conservation work that helps restore and manage local habitats for wildlife, with opportunities to contribute to meaningful environmental improvement in the area.

Main tasks may include habitat management, preparing sites for future restoration work, litter picking, invasive non-native species control, and occasional fish rescue due to low water levels in the brooks. The Trust welcomes anyone interested in joining its work parties, but the role can be physically demanding and involves spending extended periods outdoors.

Volunteers should be comfortable working in all weathers and as part of a team, following guidance from Project Officers and community groups. Training will be provided where needed, and prior experience is helpful but not essential, making this a practical role for people who want hands-on conservation experience.
