Do you have some free time available?
Are you interested in helping to manage and preserve the Ashdown Forest?
Would you like to meet like-minded people?
The Conservators of Ashdown Forest are very grateful to the 100+ volunteers who perform a variety of tasks which help the management of the Forest and inform the many visitors to the Forest Centre.
Volunteers receive full training where required, travel expenses are offered and there are regular get-togethers to share news, views and information. Whether you are new to the Forest or have lived in the area for a long time, it's a great way to enjoy it more!
