About this event
SCI are looking for volunteers to help maintain the area. Volunteers can get involved in a mix of physical and gentler tasks, and something can be found to suit everyone.
Volunteering details
This is an opportunity to help create a more bio-diverse ecosystem for local wildlife. On the small site of 1.6 acres there is a burn, small woodland, grassy areas and a forest garden to nurture into providing more diversity for wildlife.
The site is adjacent to Pitmedden Forest, home of red squirrels, pine martens and so much more. It is a tranquil location with lots of possible learning – what does the land want to do, what do the non-human residents need, and how can human and wildlife co-exist here?
The site will provide a valuable wildlife corridor for native species and provide important data to conservation groups studying red squirrels and other species found here.

Support
Training details
The support person has a high level of skills using empathic listening and identifying needs. They will be observing the volunteer/s to ensure they are getting their needs met. In the informal chat they will help the volunteer identify the needs they have and any useful strategies to reduce anxiety, stress, dissatisfaction.
The volunteer sessions will begin and end with a check-in and check out – the check in helps SCI to know how everyone is feeling that day and using a decision-making tool, decide on task delegation together.
