Organising volunteer parties to help carry out important
jobs in Suffolk’s countryside.
The Countryside Service has several organised volunteer work
parties throughout the week (not usually weekends). Volunteers are
an important resource for ensuring that practical countryside work
is completed.
The type of work that you can volunteer for varies depending
upon your interests and your willingness to learn new skills.
Typical work includes:
- building boardwalks;
- coppicing (trimming trees to encourage new shoots);
- raking roadside nature reserves; or
- surveying footpaths.
You will be trained in the use of any tools and told about
health and safety at the beginning of each session and supervised
throughout.
You will need to come dressed for any weather, as the work will
be outdoors based, and bring a packed lunch.
A contribution towards your travel costs will be paid or a
project representative will pick you up.
