volunteering

The Special Trees and Woods Project was tremendously successful, largely thanks to a team of committed volunteers. Based throughout the Chilterns, volunteers were involved in recording special trees and woods and researching their local heritage.

Volunteers did this by visiting the trees and woods (with agreement from the land owner) and visiting local museums, archives, record centres, local authorities, libraries and talking directly to local people.

Full training and support was given to registered volunteers so they could assist with the project. In return we asked volunteers to be enthusiastic and reliable! The volunteer induction handbook tells you more about our volunteering arrangement.
