Volunteers are invaluable to the YDRT and we are always looking for people to join us in helping to care for our rivers.

  • Would you like to help protect your local environment?
  • Do you enjoy working outside in iconic locations?
  • Would you like to gain practical environmental management skills?
  • Would you like to gain or develop a career in environmental management?
  • Would you like to meet new people?

 

We can offer a wide range of activities to suit you and fit round your other commitments.

What tasks do volunteers do?

Surveying and sampling

Helping to collect data such as taking water samples or recording the location of Invasive non-native species.
