Have fun, make friends, help wildlife!

Volunteers are essential to our work.

Our volunteers help in a range of roles from practical conservation and farming to helping our education work and in the office. Whether you’re able to offer a few hours a week or a few days a year we’re sure there’s an opportunity to suit you.

If you only have...
5 minutes ... tell a friend about us
1 afternoon a month ... come gardening at Lower Smite Farm
1 day a year ... help out at one of our annual open days
1 evening a month ... attend a Local Group talk or guided walk
1 day a month ... join a Sunday work party at your local nature reserve
2 days a month ... get involved in your Local Group committee
1 or more days a week ... join our Roving Volunteers working on reserves countywide

What’s in it for us?

Volunteers are our most valuable resource and together we achieve so much. Volunteers help to manage our 70+ nature reserves, collect records of the county’s wildlife, build our knowledge and expertise, help our admin needs, run hundreds of activities and inspire children across Worcestershire.

What’s in it for you?

I have found fun, friendship and gained knowledge of the countryside around me

As well as knowing that you’re making a difference, you’ll also meet new people and make new friends. We hope you’ll also have some fun on the way! You’ll get fresh air and exercise, learn new skills, add to your CV and expand your knowledge.

“As a newcomer to Worcestershire it helps me to get and keep in touch and integrated into the local community of the county and area.”
“I love being outdoors and enjoy the camaraderie of work parties. When I first started I learnt a lot of new skills.”
