Puffling Season

If you are interested in volunteering during the puffling season to assist with oiled or injured bird care, please be aware that we cannot yet be certain when the birds are likely to fledge until 4-6 weeks prior to fledging, due to annual variances. At the time, we are always in need of volunteers with bird handling experience or veterinary expertise. Timing is likely to be late August and this is unpaid volunteer work.

While there are no current openings, we encourage puffin-passionate individuals with relevant experience to send their resume and availability to belugas@sealifetrust.com. Also, keep an eye on our channels for potential future opportunities together!
