Volunteering

Volunteers are a vital element to the operations of ERCCIS and we have worked throughout the years with an amazing team of volunteers.

We understand that people volunteer for many different reasons, and we aim to make it a mutually rewarding and enjoyable experience. Volunteering with ERCCIS is an excellent opportunity to connect with professionals in nature conservation and develop key skills for your career.

ERCCIS offers a variety of tasks, so we welcome volunteers with diverse skills. Opportunities include processing wildlife records, assisting the Wildlife Information Service, managing the website and social media, validating species records, participating in GIS projects, writing species and habitat guides, and more.
