New Warden Role to Strengthen Island Conservation Efforts

The charity has been awarded £28,618 from the Dormant Asset Fund, which is managed by Manx Lottery Trust. This substantial investment will allow Manx BirdLife to expand its team and take on crucial conservation work across the Isle of Man.

What the New Warden Will Do

The new warden position will play a vital role in advancing the charity's mission. Key responsibilities will include:

• Increasing habitat management across important bird sites
• Conducting comprehensive wildlife monitoring and surveys
• Supporting the Island's National Ornithological Database
