Gorse Hill Nature Reserve - Conservation Volunteer 2023-2023
I primarily conducted nest box surveys and recorded data on the condition and progression of nests. I also recorded and compiled data on the development of the hatchlings, as well as providing a table of each box's success to the site manager. When not surveying, I was helping with the construction or repair of nest boxes or maintaining the hedgerows lining the grasslands and woodlands.
I also removed ivy from strangled trees. I also helped direct members of the public who visited the site and give them information about the site as a whole. I had to stop volunteering once my university education was completed due to moving back to my permanent address.

Shelved stock in the morning such as shoes before the store opened alone or in groups of two or three.
