Tue, 02 Jun 2026 10:08:04 +0100

EXCITING VOLUNTEERING OPPORTUNITY

At Tulgey Woods!

Some information:

We carry out various woodland tasks that vary seasonally. We teach valuable conservation skills and we operate a volunteer reward scheme.

We like to create fun social situations and we always finish our sessions with refreshments and banter in the woodland compound.

We record the hours of each volunteer as well as listing the skills they have learned. When a volunteer reaches 20 sessions (40 hours) they receive a free Tulgey Woods hoodie in their choice of size and colour. When they reach 40 sessions (80 hours) they get a key to the woods and can access the woods with family and friends for private visits and/or camping.

Examples of regular tasks; Bramble management, habitat creation, pond management, management of invasive species, sustainable bee keeping, species identification and monitoring, litter picking and wood processing.
