News update | Love Withymead? We are looking for a new trustee

Would you be interested in joining our trustee group at the reserve?

This is an exciting opportunity to get involved in a decision making and advisory role for our small, local charity that seeks to protect, promote and preserve the flora and fauna found in and around Withymead and Goring-on-Thames, share its history as a Victorian boat-building yard, and to utilise the reserve for the general education and benefit of the public with regard to nature.

We are seeking someone to join the Trustee board, ideally someone who will ‘roll their sleeves up and get stuck in’. Trustees currently meet formally three times a year. We are a friendly group, and we work as a team with our resident wardens, who are also volunteers. All trustees are expected to support some events and open afternoons which are held during the spring and summer months, when the reserve is open to the public. In addition, this year we are holding some ‘Withymead on Tour’ events, for which trustees support is also welcomed.

If you have a passion for nurturing and sharing special places, and the time to get involved behind the scenes and during our open season – this could be for you.

Interested and would like to know more? We’d love to hear from you. You are most welcome to visit the reserve.
