About Berks Bucks & Oxon Wildlife Trust (BBOWT)

Who we are

The Berks, Bucks and Oxon Wildlife Trust (BBOWT) is one of 46 Wildlife Trusts working across the UK. Since 1959 we have worked with local people to make Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire rich in wildlife and protect special places for generations to come. Our team of 150 staff is supported by 1,800 volunteers, who work together to help nature's recovery. We are governed by our Board of Trustees, who oversee the governance and strategic leadership of the Trust. We receive no core governmental funding: our work is made possible by the generosity of our members and other supporters.

What we do

Our vision is an environment rich in wildlife, valued by all. Our mission is to create a Living Landscape across our towns, cities and countryside, and inspire our communities to act for nature.

What skills do I need?

No experience is necessary, but an affinity for and understanding of sheep is desirable, along with an interest in animal welfare and a willingness to learn about the sheep.

A reasonable level of physical fitness is required, as Watts Bank is a minimum ten-minute walk from the nearest car park and the reserve is situated on a steep hillside.

You should be willing to carry out checks unsupervised and in all weather conditions.
