Volunteers

It is down to the hard work and dedication of volunteers that millions of trees are planted each year.

Becoming a volunteer can enrich your life by meeting new people, learning new skills and being involved with worthwhile projects that improve local areas and will shape the landscape for generations to come. 

Whether you want to help improve your neighbourhood or volunteer as an individual, with friends or arrange a corporate planting event with colleagues, we can help you connect with a local tree planting project that will value your support. Our tree planting season runs between November and March

Join Living Woods as a volunteer!

At Living Woods, volunteer work involves getting small woodlands back into active management along with planting trees, which will form woodlands that communities will enjoy for years to come.

All of their volunteer work contributes to support wildlife and increase biodiversity. By ensuring the health of woodlands and creating more of them, they are actively tackling climate change by helping to lock in carbon from the atmosphere.

Working in small teams outdoors, the sessions are a great way to meet new people and enjoy nature.

If we all do a little it can make a big difference. Volunteers are an intrinsic part of Living Woods and they value each person's individual contribution.
