Our volunteer sessions welcome everyone, whatever your experience. We love meeting new people who are curious about farming and keen to help with nature restoration projects.
Volunteer with us
Join us on 22nd July for our next volunteer day in the orchard!
We're delighted to be welcoming the Gloucestershire Orchard Trust, who will be sharing their expertise as we care for our mature fruit trees. Together, we'll be pruning selected trees and tackling the mistletoe that has begun to overwhelm some of them.
Whether you'd like to learn more about fruit tree maintenance, gain some hands-on orchard experience, or simply come along to see what we're doing, we'd love to hear from you. Please get in touch for more details about the day.
