Shot Tower visitor and nature centre wardens.
When work on the old shot tower visitor and nature centre is complete in 2003 we will be looking for volunteer weekend wardens to help keep the tower open as a visitor attraction. The Shot Tower and its surrounding area have a fascinating history and we anticipate a lot of interest from local people who will want to visit the tower and find out more about its amazing past. If you have an interest in local history and/or wildlife this could be just the opportunity for you. Please contact us if you are interested in finding out more about this interesting volunteering opportunity.

The reedbed on Crane Park Island was planted by volunteers several years ago and help is always needed to take care of this increasingly rare habitat.
