Enabling Everyone To Take Action For Nature Through Volunteering
Created: 01/05/2025
News/Events Category: Volunteering
Make Your Mark discussed how NatureScot is involving a diverse range of volunteers in the Scottish Invasive Species Initiative.
Volunteers and community groups are central to the Scottish Invasive Species Initiative programme – the scheme simply wouldn’t work without their input. The Scottish Invasive Species Initiative is an ambitious project working at a large-scale across a third of Scotland to deliver effective and co-ordinated control of a suite of invasive non-native plants and the American mink. It is the biggest invasive species control project in Great Britain. Delivery of the range of invasive species control tasks at that scale is simply impossible without the support and commitment of many, many volunteers who are engaged with activities local to them by local delivery partners.
From the outset, the project worked to remove barriers to volunteering and support everyone to volunteer. A full time Volunteer and Communications Officer is employed to ensure that communications with volunteers are effective, prioritised and regular.
