Become a Volunteer Warden
Becoming a Volunteer Reserve warden is one easy way that you can help Dorset Wildlife Trust on your local Trust reserve. It provides the ideal activity if you want a more flexible means of volunteering at times that suit you.
The role of the volunteer warden is one of acting as our eyes and ears on the ground at your local Reserve, reporting any problems back to us so that we can act quickly and effectively in response to fly tipping, broken gates, fallen trees and the like.
You will be issued with a polo shirt and you will also have a clear and concise agreement letter, to help you in your role and provide a simple guide to how to report any problems back to our Wardening teams.
For further details on volunteer reserve warden opportunities contact Steve Davis on or call 01202 642788.

Over 500 people help us to hand-deliver the DWT newsletter to members, three times year. This fantastic effort helps us save around £20,000 a year in postage costs. Contact Debbie Keen 01305 217966 to get involved.
