Volunteering for nature

Help us protect and restore Shropshire's wild spaces as a volunteer

Our team of 300 volunteers help us manage our reserves, engage communities across the county, undertake monitoring and mapping, organise our local branches, and run our vibrant visitor centre. Simply put, we couldn’t do it without them! 

There are lots of ways to get involved, with roles to suit different personalities, abilities and preferences. Whether you have a few hours to spare or a few days, we’d love to hear from you! 

Rather than taking 'general' volunteers, we recruit volunteers for specific roles to meet the needs of our organisation. You can see the list of our open volunteer roles below.

If one of these roles looks suitable for you, please fill in our volunteer form to register your interest.

Volunteer for nature

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.  

Open Roles

These are the volunteer roles we are currently looking to fill. If there’s nothing quite right for you at the moment, please check back, as new roles will be advertised regularly!

Practical conservation volunteer

Practical conservation volunteers play an important part in our mission protect and restore wildlife in Shropshire by helping us look after our 40+ nature reserves across the county. Volunteers work alongside our Reserves Officers in regular work parties to carry out a wide range of habitat and reserve management tasks. This is a very physical role, and a great way to stay fit and keep active in a social environment.
