The marine team wish to set up a team of seagrass volunteers to support our restoration works in South Cumbria.  The work will be ongoing throughout the coming year and we are using this time to build the team’s capacity.  Given the nature of seagrass work, with sessions dictated by the weather, the tides and plant readiness, we are looking for people who are happy to be contacted at short notice to come and help.

Duties: This is a varied role where you could be out on the seagrass beds surveying, collecting or planting seagrass, helping in our seagrass seed storage facility, or even crafting small bags to put seeds in. 

No experience is needed other than a desire to get involved, though tasks may be muddy.  Some activities will involve a long 30-45 minute walk over sandy and uneven terrain.  Other activities involve moderate heavy lifting, though this can be adjusted if necessary.

Role not suitable for under 16s or wheelchair users.
