Crowle Moor forms the easternmost block of the Humberhead Peatlands National Nature Reserve, a vast area of bog, mire and heath on which Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust has been involved in restoration and management since 1972.

We are now looking for one or more Nature Reserve Volunteer(s) to assist us with patrolling and monitoring on this large and important, heavily protected area, working autonomously to their own schedule around other commitments, but with support from LWT nature reserve and project staff.

With over 9km of visitor routes on wet and uneven ground, we are seeking someone with reasonable levels of physical fitness who is able to walk extensive areas of the site and report issues requiring works such as infrastructure maintenance and storm damage, as well as undertaking minor repairs to aspects such as signage and waymarking as required. There is also scope to contribute to wildlife and water level recording and practical habitat management tasks and to learn new skills, both with LWT and neighbouring partner organisations working to common goals.

Ideally this role would suit someone living in the north of the Isle of Axholme who already incorporates walking in the local area into their regular activities and is able to make frequent but not necessarily pre-scheduled visits to the site. An interest in wildlife and nature conservation would be advantageous, but not essential.

For further information or an informal chat regarding this voluntary position, please contact the North-West Lincolnshire Warden, Matt Cox, on 07717 660226 or email nwlincs@lincstrust.co.uk
