Summary
Do you enjoy spending time outdoors? Why not try leading a guided walk around the nature reserve.Detailed description
What will I be doing?
Leading guided walks for small groups of visitors around the nature reserve. The walks could be general, seasonal or they could reflect your own interests. They do not have to be based on wildlife and we would welcome other themes.
How much time do I need to commit?
Ideally, we would be looking for two walks a year to make sure we keep in touch and keep your knowledge and walk leading skills fresh.
Do I need to be an expert?
No, although it would be helpful to have some knowledge of either the reserve or your chosen subject, but we can help to provide information. It would be possible for you to assist other leaders before taking the lead yourself.
About Tewkesbury Nature Reserve
Establish, develop and maintain a healthy and thriving community nature reserve, by protecting, improving, and conserving the natural environment, and enhancing the biodiversity of the site.
Make the reserve accessible to the public as a place for recreation, education, and the promotion of health and wellbeing, while balancing the needs of visitors with those of the natural environment.
Develop the reserve as an outdoor learning environment, and promote an understanding and appreciation of freshwater wetlands, nature and wildlife across all age groups through active community participation.
Reinstate and support natural hydrological processes, re-naturalise watercourses and create new wetland areas, creating new spaces for nature and improving the site’s ability to retain water, and playing a part in reducing flooding.
