Important infrastructure improvements took place on Skomer and Skokholm island this year! It has been a huge team effort to deliver the island projects in just one short season.
Each season we invite four volunteers to come to Skokholm and help the Wardens manage the island and monitor its wildlife. Applications are now open for 2026.

Thank you for your interest in volunteering on Skomer. Applications for 2026 are now closed. Applications for 2027 will open on 1st September 2026.
