We own two nature reserves on the Lizard; North Predannack Downs Nature Reserve and Windmill Farm Nature Reserve. The management and maintenance of these reserves is undertaken by a dedicated team of staff and the occasional volunteer work party. Our conservation work party events are often organised by our Local Groups and involve things like scrub clearance and coppicing.

Other than these occasional work parties on our nature reserves, we are unable to offer casual conservation work to volunteers, however we do have full time nature reserve volunteer positions available, working across Cornwall within the Nature Reserve Estates Team, details below.
