Week 2: 24- 28 February
A different week compared to my first! I was mostly in the office, completing lots of different assignments. I created a fun interactive easter egg trail, based on British birds, while Claire focused on prepping for a Flora exhibition at St. Wendreda Church, March. We both helped each other during these tasks such as finding photos or creating life-size egg silhouettes. It feels great to be able to work on our own projects and figuring out how to work as part of the team. We also attended two meetings, one with the Great Fen team and one with Ramsey Heights team. We were able to learn about the interesting projects going on which gave us an insight into the different areas of working in the Wildlife Trust.
On Tuesday, I assisted with Forest school. While volunteering, I never got the chance to help, so it was my first time! When the school arrived, they were ecstatic about all the mud due to the heavy rain the day before. Luckily, it was a lovely sunny day to play outside. Although I did get stuck in mud…literally. They had fun making me stand in deep mud, cover my feet, and watch me struggle to get out. My blue wellies turned brown by the end!
My highlight of the week was going on a lunchtime social to Woodwalton Fen. At the hides we helped tidy and put up posters before watching geese fight very loudly over the lake. Sitting on the wrong side of the car, I missed a kingfisher darting across the river!
