BBC seek volunteers for Wildlife Revival event

The BBC are looking for volunteers for a Britain’s Big Wildlife Revival Event taking place as part of the BBC’s Summer of Wildlife. This event will be held on the 14th September  in Sutton Park.

This summer the BBC will come together to celebrate the UK’s extraordinary wildlife.

The BBC is going to harness the power of much loved programmes and new ground-breaking nature content from across the BBC to create a ‘Summer of Wildlife’ – a season which will galvanise and inspire people across the UK to celebrate, discover and ultimately protect the sheer range, speciality and importance of wildlife in the UK.

Birmingham has been selected to host the only Britain’s Big Wildlife Revival event. It will take place at Sutton Park, Birmingham on Saturday, September 14th 2013. It is expected to be open to the public from 10.00am to 5.00 pm, and will be free to enter.

Volunteer Roles
We are looking for a minimum of 15 volunteers to act as stewards for the event.

Exact duties will be allocated on the day. These are expected to include:
·        Meeting and greeting visitors at the gate
·        Acting as an information point for visitors
·        Signposting visitors to attractions and suggesting alternatives if their first choice is too busy
·        Managing queues
·        Supporting partner activities

All roles will be ambassadorial and information based. You will be expected to:
    Encourage people to get involved
    Be a positive face of the BBC and BBC Springwatch
    Be on hand for any questions or queries
    Be enthusiastic about the event and about the Summer of Wildlife

You do not need to have any wildlife or conservation knowledge or background.

Please note that this is an outreach event and volunteer roles are not related to television production.
