Current edition, CJS Focus on
Volunteering in association with TCV included in full here
40 pages in total, the lead article is from The
Conservation Volunteers on how they are inspiring the conservation workforce of
the future via traineeships. Keep Scotland Beautiful will launch Spring Clean
2020 soon, why not get involved. Denbighshire County Council talk about the
wellbeing benefits of volunteering. Debs Carter on why the best Volunteer
Managers were once volunteers themselves. Volunteering can and does make a
difference – as evidenced by the Dry Stone Walling Association organised
Wallathon in Reeth. We ask the latest Volunteer Ranger at North Norfolk District
Council about his experience of the role. FSC Biolinks are keen to tell us about
the project and their ID training for biological recording volunteers. A
relatively new role, Community Ambassador with Northumberland Wildlife Trust,
has proved a big hit. We round up with the reflections on 25 years of
advertising volunteer roles and the changes that have occurred over that time
from CJS Editor, Kerryn.
This edition also carries lots of voluntary
vacancies and work day opportunities.
The next edition will be published on 11 May and is looking at:
Environmental Education and Outdoor Activities. We will consider
everything from bushcraft to bungee jumping; including a look at the
practicalities and benefits of setting up and running your own environmental
education programme. [more]
