Dubwath Silver Meadows |

The Friends of Dubwath Silver Meadows would like to extend a warm welcome to anyone who wishes to join them. For a donation of £5 per annum, per household, you will receive all the news of events and happenings at the reserve. An occasional Newsletter will keep you up to date and give dates of meetings and our AGM. All are welcome, new input and ideas are always needed to ensure the reserve is meeting the needs of the visiting public.
You can download a copy of the Friends joining leaflet here or email us if you would like further details.

Dubwath Silver Meadows has a small dedicated volunteer group, which includes all age groups and abilities, who take part in a wide range of activities to ensure the reserve is maintained and safe for visitors. Volunteering can be very rewarding and our volunteers are a great asset to the site. Whatever your ability or skill set we are sure to have something for you to get involved in. Keeping the site tidy, willow weaving, wattle and daubing or feeding the birds are just a few of the opportunities awaiting you. If you are interested please use our contact us page to request further details. Check out our photo pages to see a selection of photographs showing our volunteers at work.
