Volunteering opportunities with the Bristol Natural History Consortium
The University is going to have a strong presence at the Festival of Nature 2011, and is involved with the Bioblitz and with Meet the Species. Any help you can give would be brilliant, and you might even end up at Glastonbury Festival!
Do you have a love of wildlife and natural history? Or do you just enjoy getting involved in the city, helping people and meeting lots of new faces? If so, why not volunteer with the Bristol Natural History Consortium (BNHC) for a great experience this summer?
Bristol BioBlitz 2011
We need volunteers for Bristol BioBlitz at Tyntesfield Estate National Trust, Wraxall on 20th-21st May. During this free entry public event, we will be trying to find as many species of wildlife as possible on the estate against the clock and need experienced naturalists to give guided walks and help with species identification, guides to show people around and offer help with using identification keys and stewards to help run the event.

Bristol Festival of Nature 2011
We also need volunteers to cover a variety of activities at the Festival of Nature at Bristol Harbourside from 16th to 19th June. This is the UK’s largest celebration of nature and will see over 100 organisations providing activities and entertainment, a local foods market and the opportunity to rub shoulders with some giants of the wildlife and conservation industry.
