Volunteer with us
We have over five hundred volunteers who help to keep the Chilterns special. Thinking about getting involved? Here’s why you should…
-
Make a real impact
You will feel that you are doing something worthwhile to protect an area that’s special to you. -
Take notice of nature
It's an opportunity to immerse yourself in the beautiful Chiltern countryside and enjoy the outdoors. -
Connect with like-minded people
There’s always lots of laughter and a friendly atmosphere – and often a pub lunch afterwards! -
Learn something new
It’s a great way to learn new skills and find out more about local wildlife, heritage and the environment. -
Give your wellbeing a boost
Research has demonstrated that volunteering can have a positive effect on a range of aspects of individual wellbeing, including happiness, life satisfaction and self-esteem.
You don’t need any special skills to volunteer with us, just plenty of enthusiasm, and we will show you the rest!
Please see our Volunteers Handbook (in a new window), which is here to explain the things you need to know about volunteering with us. We hope you find it helpful.
