Volunteering

Volunteers play a vital role in managing, maintaining and restoring valuable sites and habitats across the country. We are looking for people to help manage and maintain the many diverse habitats in our country parks. Could this be you?

We provide a full range of volunteering opportunities for people of all ages and abilities. We want to develop volunteering with the people involved and find out what kind of work would interest you. You could learn new skills and crafts but most importantly you'll enjoy yourself.

Its also a great way to

• improve and learn about habitats in the country parks
• gain experience in countryside management skills
• keep fit
• meet new people and work alongside the Ranger Team

You can do as little or as much as you can.  It all helps.  All you need to do is turn up.

Black Park Volunteer Group meets at the country parks office any Wednesday between 9.30 and 10.00 (free parking).  Tools, training and refreshments are all provided.  Just bring along suitable outdoor clothing and lunch.

Summer volunteer projects in Black Park are:

• Habitat maintenance and improvements
• Path and ride maintenance
• Creating space for Wildlife

Friends of Langley Park meet the 1st Saturday in every month at 10.00 in Langley Car Park.

Work continues to restore the historic formal nature of the park as well as maintaining a keen conservation and wildlife aspect by:

• Ongoing restoration and maintenance of the prestigious Rhododendron collection in Langley Park
• Removal of encroaching weeds, scrub and trees from park avenues and rides
• Reduction of non native Laurel in woodland and arboretum

Give us a call and found out what we can offer you.
