Making new friends, keeping fit, working in an amazing landscape and knowing that you are helping your local environment are all great reasons for becoming a volunteer.
We are fortunate to have about 40 volunteers who regularly help the Trust in many ways:
Since 2006, much of the access infrastructure in woodlands and meadows around the Ironbridge Gorge, such as paths, steps, and kissing gates have been installed by our volunteers with training by staff and our contractors. During the summer months, you may see us hand scything the meadows or undertaking wildflower identification. In the winter months, hedge-laying and coppicing. The volunteer programme covers a wide variety of tasks with hand tools.
Our volunteering day is on a Thursday, between 10-3pm – we work on a variety of sites based in the Ironbridge Gorge World Heritage Site and surrounding areas.
If you would like to discover, improve and enjoy your local green space then get in touch with us, we love to welcome new and returning volunteers. Just click on the link to register your interest and we will be in touch with you to answer any queries. Volunteer Sign Up
