Throughout 2025 we are running weekly fun and friendly wildlife surveys and workshops for volunteers at the Paddock. Whether you are an expert or beginner this will be a chance to get outdoors and explore the wildlife on your doorstep!
Please be aware booking closes one day before each surveying event at 12pm – this gives us time to prepare the activity packs in time fore the following day.
If you have to cancel your place for any reason, please get in touch via thepaddock@tcv.org.uk or by the contact numbers below to let us know.
More info:
You will be issued with a field recording sheet, species guide sheets, a clipboard and a pencil that are yours for the day, which will have been disinfected before being given to you.
