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.
