Come and be part of a global voice for wild plants and fungi
This autumn, help us find Britain’s most colourful and important fungi – waxcaps.
Fungi are crucial to nearly all life on Earth, but they are not given the recognition and investment they deserve. Will you join our mission to change that?
Our corporate partners benefit from 35 years of experience in nature restoration so they can achieve real impact.
Become a Plantlife member today and together we will rebuild a world rich in plants and fungi
There are lots of different ways you can volunteer with us and help protect wild plants and fungi. There’s something for everyone, and we welcome volunteers in a wide variety of roles across the UK. Whether it’s getting stuck into practical conservation work, data entry, research, botanical survey, or even campaigning and advocacy work. We simply couldn’t do as much vital work for wild plants and fungi without our volunteers.
When you join our friendly network of volunteers, you will be able to use skills you already have as well as developing new ones. You will be supported by a dedicated volunteer manager who will ensure you have a full induction and welcome to your volunteering, as well as access to a range of training.
