The Shetland Community Wildlife Group was established in 2020 to enable the local community to engage with the isles natural heritage whilst learning new skills and meeting like-minded people.
Volunteers can get involved in projects with a range of organisations within Shetland. These projects help us to better understand our amazing species and habitats and inform conservation and protection measures.
We want to encourage anyone with an interest in wildlife, environmental science, the Shetland landscape or simply just a love of getting outdoors to get involved. No experience or skill level required!
The establishment of the group was made possible by funding received from the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
Meet the Team
The Shetland Community Wildlife Group is administered by Kate and Becky from the Marine Spatial Planning Team at UHI Shetland and Gareth from Species on the Edge.
We also work with other local and national organisations to share projects and volunteering opportunities that you can get involved in.
