Some Volunteers give time on a regular weekly basis doing office administration, archiving and recycling. Volunteers are all members of the Marwell Zoological Society. They come from every walk of life, every profession and age group. They share a desire to help Marwell and give as much time as they can. Many Volunteers travel some distance to Marwell and are required at weekends and on public holidays.
Volunteers meet socially and have an annual outing to another zoo.
Their common interest in wildlife forms a basis for firm friendship. There are over 150 Volunteers but more are always needed. Training is given and courses begin again in March. Ext 202, during office hours. Volunteers are part of the Marwell scene, recognisable by badge and dark blue sweatshirt.
