Volunteering
Surrey Wildlife Trust
Surrey Wildlife Trust manages almost 8000 hectares of land in Surrey (5% of the county) with wildlife in mind and for the enjoyment of local people.
We speak up for wildlife by advising decision makers and ensuring wildlife has a voice and share our knowledge of wildlife at every opportunity, through our education services to schools, adult learning courses and events. Our hands-on approach of caring for nature reserves and advising other landowners on managing land for nature has transformed the fortunes of some of Surrey's most threatened species.
We work with schools, communities and volunteers across Surrey to inform and involve people in nature. Over 15,000 children and young people now benefit annually from a wide variety of outdoor learning courses and activities.
Volunteer with us
As a volunteer you will be joining a network of nearly 2,000 like-minded people who are involved in protecting Surrey's wildlife and countryside.
Whether you can spare a few hours of a full day, volunteering is a chance to make a positive contribution to improving your local area, while learning useful skills, making new friends and increasing your knowledge of wildlife conservation.
There are plenty of opportunities, from practical conservation on our reserves, education future generations, assisting with events, to training for a career in conservation.
