Getting Involved

VOLUNTEERING Find out about Volunteer Experiences  VISITOR CENTRE The Explore Abernethy visitor centre is looking for people who can spare a couple of hours per month during the summer, to keep the centre open while the ranger gives guided walks. No experience needed but an interest in local history and cutural heritage will help. BUTTERFLIES Interested in helping record the wildlife in Nethy Bridge? Join the ranger and help to walk a weekly transect during the summer to record butterflies. Volunteers do not need to be experts on identifying wildlife, but must be keen to learn and enjoy being out of doors. If you think you can help in any way, drop into the Nethy Bridge Community Centre and speak to the ranger. JOHN MUIR AWARD Explore and enjoy Abernethy forest, while helping to conserve the local wildlife. Several local people and volunteers have worked towards their John Muir Award with Explore Abernethy.  If you would like to get involved or find out more ask the ranger for more information. JOB VACANCIES Unfortunately, Explore Abernethy only has one employee, the seasonal ranger, and so there are no current vacancies. This post is generally advertised at the start of each year in the Countryside Jobs Service.
