Volunteering
Get involved in habitat management
It’s no secret that volunteering is a great pastime and we have plenty of opportunities to get stuck in. Learn outdoor skills from our skilled environment team, and learn to love nature even more.
It’s a great way to meet people and boost your mental health, all while giving back by looking after the outdoor spaces for you and others in your community to enjoy.

Connecting with nature
We host a series of outdoor activities for children across the East Midlands.
As a volunteer you can support with delivering sessions, prepping craft materials, and reading stories in the woods. This experience is great for anyone who is looking for experience in childcare, or anyone who loves to look after little ones and nature.
