Volunteering
Get active, learn new skills, meet new people
Volunteering is a great way to discover the communities, heritage, and environment that shape the New Forest
Voluntary roles offer opportunities to better yourself while giving back to the groups working hard to make the National Park the special place it is. Volunteers learn new things, build knowledge, and gain confidence, all while supporting others.
From practical tasks protecting important habitats to remote and desk-based pursuits like managing social media, the new connections and skills on offer to volunteers have positive impacts on health and wellbeing. Plus, you can content yourself in the knowledge you’re helping people and nature thrive.
