All volunteers are trained to an exceptionally high standard and there is an opportunity after a probationary period to join the presenting team and co-host a show.

Come and help us deliver outdoor education sessions to schools and the wider community in the Seven Lochs Wetland Park.

Volunteers will have the opportunity to help deliver outdoor education sessions to school children in the Seven Lochs area. We work both in Primary and Secondary schools. Sessions can be for a morning or afternoon with an individual class or after school sessions for mixed age groups. We also run regular events for the general public at weekends such as family explorer walks, heritage events, arts and crafts events and natural history events, which we always would welcome some extra help at. A knowledge of outdoor education and working with children would be an advantage but not essential as any training needed can be provided. More important is a person who is friendly, enthusiastic and happy to learn on the job.
