About Opportunity
The team works in partnership with a wide variety of organisations, such an SNH, local community councils, The Cromarty Firth Fisheries Trust and other community groups to perform a wide range of practical conservation tasks within Inverness and surrounding area. Volunteers need no previous experience as full training in the tasks will be given on the day. We also welcome volunteers with some experience in practical conservation tasks. BTCV will provide refreshments but volunteers are asked to bring their own lunch. Volunteers need to wear suitable sturdy footwear. Waterproofs and wellies can be provided if requested in advance.
