We have over 1000 volunteers helping wildlife
Join a network of like-minded people helping to protect wildlife in Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire and Northamptonshire and ensure a Wilder Future for all of us.
Whether you can spare a few hours or a full day, volunteering is a chance to make a real difference to local wildlife, while learning useful skills, making new friends and increasing your knowledge of wildlife conservation. The time you give makes a huge difference.

Work Parties
Come and join one of our work parties for a wildlife work-out. It’s a good way to get some fresh air, keep fit and make a huge difference for local wildlife. Generally no skills are needed as training and tools are provided.
Upwood Meadows National Nature Reserve is a traditional meadow managed through conservation grazing and has one of the highest levels of floristic diversity in the county.
Career Placements
Our Voluntary Officer (VO) placements are aimed at people looking for an in-depth introduction to conservation.

Ecology Groups
Our Ecology Group volunteers help with surveying the wildlife on our reserves to make sure we are managing them in the best ways. Previous experience of surveying is useful but not essential for most surveys, all you need is the enthusiasm to come out regularly and the drive to learn more about our wonderful local wildlife.
