Volunteering in Scotland is extremely popular. There are
approximately 600 organisations and bodies affiliated with the
Forum for Environmental Volunteering Activity! An enjoyable way
of making a real difference to Scotland's biodiversity is to
become a "citizen scientist " by taking part in a wildlife
survey. There are many surveys to choose from. Volunteering to
help biodiversity isn't just about monitoring species and
habitats. There is a lot that you could do to help our
understanding of the environment which our species and habitats
require. For example you could collect climate data such are
rainfall or record the extent of flooding events. If you don't
mind getting stuck in you can help record the amount of litter
on our beaches or take part in path or wall creation. Want to
learn more? There are great training opportunities ranging from
a few hours to residential courses. Information on biodiversity
related training can be obtained from British Trust for
Conservation Volunteers. Last updated on Thursd
