By Press Release
The IW Red Squirrel Forum with the IW Council and Parish Councils are looking into the possibility of recruiting and training tree wardens. Several parishes have wardens already and they would like to extend the scheme across the Island. Initially, the forum are asking for names and the parish potential volunteer wardens could cover. Later in September a meeting of interested people will be arranged.
Want to see what the role entails? Go to Become a Tree Warden – Tree Council Volunteer Tree Wardens as they are using their ideas as a guide. Good communication skills are essential for this role! As well as looking after trees, there is an opportunity to record species of flora and fauna spotted, including red squirrels.
Please email your name and Parish to Helen and you will be contacted in September when they have further details to give you.
The address is: wightsquirrels@hotmail.com
