Nathan Jones
Nathan had been a member of BC for a few years when an advert in his local Branch newsletter for the position of committee Chair presented an opportunity to reconnect with his childhood love for wildlife and being outdoors.
Our volunteers deliver a huge variety of work, from practical habitat management on our reserves to submitting data through one of our many butterfly and moth recording schemes.
Whether you have a lot of time to give or a little, if you are a seasoned naturalist or a complete beginner, there will be a volunteering opportunity for you. For inspiration, take a look at what some of our volunteers get up to.
