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.
Take a look below at our upcoming volunteering days, or click the button to find out more about habitat management!
Please note in some instances, the work location changes and will be confirmed with you if you sign up.

Connecting with nature
We host a series of outdoor activities across the East Midlands, for children and adults.
As a volunteer you can support with delivering sessions, prepping materials, and promoting our events. This experience is great for anyone who is looking to do something meaningful in their own community.
