The Wet Willow Wildlife project focuses on enhancing habitat connectivity for wet willow species across a landscape scale. A key target of the project is the willow tit, a stunning bird that has tragically experienced a 94 per cent decline in population since the 1970s.

This is your chance to help us monitor and protect this red-listed species.

In partnership with The Conservation Volunteers and the Greater Manchester Ecology Unit, we’re seeking passionate volunteers to survey willow tits in the beautiful Bolton and the enchanting Chat Moss areas in Greater Manchester. As a survey volunteer, you’ll not only learn fascinating facts about willow tits but also play a crucial role in gathering valuable population data in nature.

No prior experience is necessary—just a love for birdwatching and basic computer literacy. 

If you'd like to sign up to one of our training workshops in February/March and join us in this important mission to conserve the wonderful willow tit, please click the link below which will take you to Assemble our Volunteer Management System.
