New evening opportunities for getting hands on in the Forest
We are excited to announce a fantastic new volunteering opportunity this summer. Join volunteer sessions in various areas of the Forest from 6:30pm to 8:30pm every Wednesday evening throughout July and August 2024.
Ideal for busy schedules
These sessions are perfect for those who want to support the Forest but are unable to volunteer during the day or at weekends. Whether you can join just one session or all of them, your contribution will be greatly appreciated. There’s a specific focus on meeting new people and connecting with the environment, whilst helping to nurture the Forest.
