Volunteer for the Lost Woods project and help protect our ancient woodlands for future generations.
You can make a real difference to our natural spaces on your doorstep, all while learning new skills and meeting new people.
From volunteering for hands-on conservation to connecting people with nature, there are lots of ways to get involved. Due to the high number of applications we are receiving, we are prioritising those from people living locally within the Lost Woods project area.
The role: As a Wildlife Monitor, you will help us determine a baseline for species presence on sites within the Lost Woods project area, and enable us to establish whether our work in woodland management and the maintenance of other habitats is benefiting wildlife.
You will be visiting sites regularly, identifying, recording and monitoring species and ensuring the results are recorded in accordance with set guidelines.

The role: We are looking for volunteer Guided Walk Leaders to show visitors the wonderful woodlands of the Lost Woods, and to share their knowledge to inspire more people to enjoy and care for these important habitats.
Are you a great communicator? Can you offer a friendly welcome? If you are a calm and confident communicator, who enjoys meeting people from a variety of backgrounds, this could be the role for you.
We are looking for people who enjoy researching and planning walks as well as leading them.
For this role, you will need access to a phone, the internet and an email address, as well as suitable outdoor clothing for the site – including sturdy footwear.

Hi I’m Liz – I’m looking forward to helping you find you the perfect volunteer role, so you can join us in supporting our wonderful local woodlands. Everyone’s welcome here.
I work with disadvantaged communities, supporting them to volunteer, have their voices heard and campaign for better services. I’ve also worked with children and adults with special needs on forest school and woodland projects. And my love of plants led to a diploma in herbal medicine.
Drop me a line at the link below and I’ll arrange to phone you for a chat – or answer your questions by email if you prefer.
