Sandra Hayes: Hello. My name is Sandra Hayes, and I'm from Clifton Bird Park. It's great to see so many possible volunteers here. The park is now a very popular attraction in this area. I think people love coming to see so many different types of birds in a beautiful environment. 1For some species that we have here, there aren't many still alive in the wild, so a big part of our job is to make sure we help their numbers increase. All the birds are native species. We need volunteers to help the bird park officers with different jobs. One of these is gardening. Obviously, summer is the time when we have most visitors, but the park needs looking after all year round. 2If you want to help, you can choose which day, although we do already have plenty of volunteers working Saturdays and Sundays. But one day every four weeks is the minimum commitment that we ask for. So who's the ideal volunteer for gardening work? 3If you have expert knowledge about flowers and trees, great. But we're looking more for people who are flexible and turn up no matter whether it's raining or baking hot. That's what'll make you the best person for the job. It's all teamwork, so you'll have plenty of support. What about volunteer guides? A guide's role is to point out the birds and talk about the conservation program. 4In general, it's people in a foreign tour group that you're responsible for. The Clifton residents who come to the park usually know their way around. We get a few teachers bringing in classes, but they're the park officer's responsibility. The last thing to mention is the park's maintenance day, which is coming up soon. We're hoping to get as many volunteers as possible to come and help tidy things up. 5If anyone is able to drive some other volunteers to the event, please let me know because we need help there. The park officers will provide you with spades and drills and hammers, all of that stuff, and they'll be offering you some refreshments too, so it should be a good day out.

Sandra Hayes: So here's a map of Clifton Bird Park. As you can see, the railway line runs along the Northwest of the park, and road access is on that side too from Clifton Lane. We want volunteers to work on a few different areas on maintenance day, which is coming up soon. Firstly, the wooden bridge. I'll explain where that is. You can see Clifton Lane in the main gate into the park. 6On the southern side of Clifton Lane is one of our car parks, and below that, there were two similar sized ponds. The wooden bridge runs between those two ponds. We just need to make it a bit stronger. Some volunteers will be doing a bit of painting at the observation tower. 7The tower's in the southeast corner of the map. You see there are two different sized ponds there? The tower's on the south side of the larger pond at the end of the path. We'll need about three people to help out. We need to replace the windows on the visitor cabins. 8So on the map, you can see our car park on the North side of Clifton Lane. There's the woods, and on the left hand side of the map, the railway line. The visitors' cabins are marked there between the woods and the railway station. You'll also be repairing some nesting boxes. 9See the picnic area? The path you want is between there and the big pond. Follow it round all the way to the end. So as we're looking at the map now, the nesting boxes are on the right of that pond. 10Finally, the boat sheds. Towards the top of the map, you've got that smallish pond quite near the railway line, and there are two places marked up there. The boat sheds are on the same side of the pond as the woods, not the place marked at the tip of the park. What we want you to do
