Herts and Middlesex Wildlife Trust

Take a guided 3-mile winter birdwatching walk around two reservoirs, spotting wildfowl, waders and gulls with binoculars or a telescope. Practise bird identification and hear how the site is managed, including bird-ringing and monitoring populations.

Follow a Reserves Officer around Great Hardmead Lake, using binoculars and a telescope from viewpoints and bird hides to spot wildfowl, wading birds, gulls and other wetland species. Pick up tips for identifying birds and understanding their behaviour, habitats and winter ecology.

Restore habitats, survey wildlife or lead guided walks across Hertfordshire and Middlesex. Choose roles through an online volunteering platform; many include inductions and training, with options from reserve work to community events and creative skills.
