Practical volunteer

We meet twice a month, generally the first Tuesday at a woodland around Silverstone (such as Hazelborough Woods) and the third Wednesday at Salcey Forest.

Tasks undertaken are a mixture of conservation project work and site management including clearing vegetation, removing old tree tubes, coppicing and much more.

No experience is needed and all tools, training and tea and biscuits will be provided.
