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…

1) Make a real impact
You will feel that you are doing something great to protect an area that’s special to you.

2) Enjoy the outdoors
It’s an opportunity to enjoy the beautiful Chiltern countryside and even get fit!

3) Meet like-minded people
There’s always lots of laughs and a friendly atmosphere – and often a pub lunch afterwards!

4) Learn something new
It’s a great way to learn new skills and find out more about local wildlife. You don’t need any specials skills to volunteer with us, just plenty of enthusiasm and we will show you the rest! Of course if you do have a secret skill, it could be a great way to put it into action.
