Volunteer Little Tern Warden vacancies

07 February 2023

The Little Tern is one of the UK’s rarest seabirds and has suffered large scale declines in the last 25 years. The population is under increasing pressure due to habitat loss, disturbance and predation. Beacon Ponds hosts Yorkshire’s only breeding colony of this species, despite being widely used by the general public. We are looking for volunteer wardens to help the seasonal wardening team monitor and protect the Little Tern colony this spring and summer.
