What minimum age limits apply to volunteers on TW tasks?
This depends on the time of year, the nature of the task and the site. As a general rule the minimum age is 16 and everyone under 18 must be accompanied by a parent/guardian. Most tasks involve getting wet & muddy. There may be TW tasks where under 16's may be able join. For a specific event please email a question through the 'Join Us' page.
I'd like to make a financial donation to Trafford Wildlife to support the group's work on behalf of local wildlife. How do I do this?
