Skomer is an amazing island - but it couldn't run without our volunteers! We have short-term and long-term opportunities available, please see below for details.

With nearly 350,000 breeding pairs of Manx Shearwaters, over 43,500 Puffins, thousands of Guillemots, Razorbills and Kittiwakes and hundreds of Fulmars, Skomer is an internationally important seabird island.
It is also located less than a mile off the beautiful Pembrokeshire coast making it a great place to visit for the day or stay overnight.

We have lots of exciting events planned for 2025 - please find details of these below!
