Conservation days
If you've got a passion for the outdoors and like to be 'hands on' then this could be the opportunity for you. Conservation days are held up to six times a month and are practical sessions to conserve the habitats of the Hills and Commons.
Activities may include coppicing and tree planting, pond clearance, removing bracken and bramble shading wild flowers, small tree and scrub clearance.
It's a great way to get some fresh air and exercise with a great group of like-minded people whilst doing something worthwhile for the Malvern Hills and Commons.
All our regular conservation days are featured in our events listing but please contact us if you're thinking of joining us for the first time - volunteers@malvernhills.org.uk
Volunteer Site Wardens
Volunteer Site Wardens adopt a patch or a special wildlife area where they focus their efforts on litter picking, habitat management or simply keeping a close eye on it and reporting any issues to the Trust.
This is a great way to learn more about the conservation of local wildlife and get to know your local area better.
Project volunteers
In addition to the opportunities above, we also undertake one-off projects which offer new volunteer opportunities. In recent years we have worked with volunteers in the following tasks:
- Social media storytelling: help gather inspiring stories from across the Hills and Commons for our online engagement (must have own phone and camera)
- Dog campaign: assist with the planning and research for planned dog campaign, including surveys, activities and events
- Memorial bench survey: assessing the condition of existing benches and mapping locations for new placements (GIS experience useful)
New opportunities will be advertised on social media, on our latest news pages and on the volunteer pages here. Please get in touch with us at info@malvernhills.org.uk for further information.
