Volunteer roles

At WWT, we believe that the best way for people to understand and connect to wetlands is to experience them, so we bring awe-inspiring nature up close.

You will be engaging with the public to help them understand more about these species and the conservation threats facing them. This is an excellent opportunity to gain practical experience of animal husbandry and uphold outstanding standards of care for our mammal collection species.  

Volunteers are an essential part of the WWT team, and we wouldn’t be able to maintain our internationally important wetland sites without their help.
