Meet Mark Sowerby, Reserve Volunteer at WWT Martin Mere near Southport
Volunteers play a key part in supporting WWT. With our Volunteering Week coming up, we caught up with some of our volunteers to find out why they started volunteering and their experiences so far.
Mark Sowerby volunteers on our reserve. Here is what he had to say about his time volunteering with us:
“Volunteering at Martin Mere has exceeded my expectations in many ways. I started volunteering in July 2022 and from the first day, I was made very welcome by staff and volunteers alike. I was given a tour of the reserve, the team's activities and future plans.
The diversity of work, and the wildlife, adds to the pleasure of volunteering, very few days have been the same. I have learned so much about the resident and migratory birds and the importance of diversity within the reserve."
Volunteering Week
During Volunteer Week on 11 - 17 March, drop in between 2pm - 4pm each day to talk to our team about volunteering. We have a range of volunteering roles available with no expert knowledge needed - just a keen interest in people and wildlife and a ‘can-do’ attitude.
