Regional Representative volunteers (RRs)
If you are looking for support with participating in surveys in your local area, please contact your Regional Representative.
There are RRs for six BTO regions in Northern Ireland, corresponding roughly with the six counties. The RRs are charged with finding volunteers within their "county", and then liaising with them about surveys and projects.
They support volunteers and BTO members by answering queries, giving talks and encouraging participation.
Contact details for our RRs can be viewed in the Regional Network Directory.
