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.
