Regular Opportunities to Volunteer
We meet on the first Saturday of each month at 10:00am, by our store near Eastwood Barn – what3words location ///reason.wiping.riding or please see Google Maps at bottom of this page for meeting point location and walking routes to get to us in Eastwood Farm.
Each monthly session lasts around two hours and typically includes:
- Light conservation work
- Plenty of time to enjoy the nature reserve
- Tea, biscuits and chat
- A sense of accomplishment
With a good group we get a lot done, from clearing paths to planting, managing invasive species and litter picking, maintaining this important natural resource for our community.
Volunteering with the Friends of Eastwood Farm
Volunteering with us is a great way to care for nature, meet friendly people and make a real difference for our local nature reserve.
We run welcoming, relaxed work parties suitable for all abilities with no experience needed, and there’s even tea and biscuits afterwards.
