Durham Wildlife Trust has lots of exciting opportunities for volunteering. We are always looking for willing volunteers who share our passion for wildlife, conservation and broadening awareness. As a volunteer you can play an integral role in what we do. Volunteering is such a wonderful way to socialise and be part of a wonderful team.
