Volunteer for nature
Help us protect and restore Shropshire's wild spaces as a volunteer
Our team of around 400 volunteers help us manage our reserves, engage communities across the county, undertake monitoring and mapping, organise our local branches, help with research and administration, and run our vibrant visitor centre.
Simply put, we couldn’t do it without them!
I feel strongly that volunteering for SWT contributes to helping wildlife, protecting landscapes and increasing appreciation of the environment in Shropshire.
Volunteer opportunities
Rather than taking 'general' volunteers, we recruit volunteers for specific roles and opportunities to meet the needs of our organisation.
There are lots of ways to get involved, with opportunities to suit different personalities, abilities and preferences. You’ll need to be aged 18 or over and a UK resident to volunteer with us.
Whether you have a few hours to spare or a few days, we’d love to hear from you.
Shropshire Wildlife Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and adults at risk. For applicable roles, applicants must be willing to undergo reference checks with past employers and Disclosure and Barring Service checks at the appropriate level.
I very much enjoy the monthly work parties I go to. I get a lot out of the work and the camaraderie between the volunteers.
Real people, real impact
Last year, our volunteers contributed more than 21,000 hours in total – that’s the equivalent of adding another 14 full-time staff to our team!
Together, they completed 90 botanical & wildlife surveys, undertook 320 practical work parties, organised 90 events, activities and visits, and engaged 2,400 people across Shropshire.
A massive thank you from everyone at Shropshire Wildlife Trust – we can’t wait to see what you do this year!
