Conservation Services will lead a group of international volunteers on two residential, week-long (5 days, 4 nights) programme to protect the habitat of the endangered Natterjack Toad. It will involve clearing ponds and removing pine saplings prior to the spawning season. Volunteers can sign up for 1 or 2 weeks.
General information for volunteers:
- Communal accommodation will be provided to all volunteers free of charge.
- We will provide safety equipment, work-related insurance and safety talks.
- We will also provide transport to the site (ex Dublin).
- Volunteers chip in together for food.
- Although there is no charge for the project we do look for guarantees of commitment before the project as numbers are limited and interest is high. (This is normally in the form of a small deposit that is returned on the first day of the project and so can be used for food etc.Other possibilities exis. such as evidence of intended travel tlo Ireland)
The things you need to bring: Working clothes, Sturdy Shoes, Rain gear. Sleeping bag and pillow and personal hygiene gear. There will be a few social outings to local attractions during the week. So some good clothes would be an idea.
Interested volunteers should contact Andy at andy@conservationservices.ie
