Our conservation work parties are a great opportunity for you to volunteer on practical conservation tasks, helping to protect and enhance the landscape, as well as have fun, meet people and eat lots of cake!
Most conservation days are on our land across Cumbria. Everyone is very welcome to join us.

The events are hands-on conservation work, including a varied range of tasks usually undertaken in small groups. All involve working in the countryside and sometimes on rough ground. Volunteers of all skill levels are welcome to come along. We supply skilled supervision and any tools necessary.

Please bring warm clothes, waterproofs, gloves and a packed lunch with drinks, suncream in summer. Steel toe capped boots MUST be worn for all dry stone walling days. Please note there are no washing, toilet or other facilities on our sites.

Parking is sometimes limited on site so we ask people to share transport from the office in Kendal where possible. Volunteers under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

Conservation day dates for 2010 can be found in our 2010 Volunteer leaflet or see What's On.
