Volunteering
Lend a helping hand
Play your part in helping to manage and encourage the
rich diversity of landscape and wildlife in Kent.
Giving up some of your time either in a country park, or for a
Countryside Management Project is interesting, rewarding and helps
keep you fit and healthy!
Most of our country parks have volunteer groups who help with
the maintenance and development of the sites. Common tasks include
path clearing, hedge laying, pond work and coppicing. Volunteer
days are held throughout the year.
How can I volunteer?
- To volunteer at your local country park, contact them directly
on the numbers listed with each site on the Parks and open
spaces pages.
- If you are a regular walker, cyclist or horse rider; or if you
own or manage land, then you could volunteer for the Kent Local
Access Forum. The forum brings together 15 local people to
advise organisations - including Kent County Council, the Areas of
Outstanding Natural Beauty and the district and borough councils -
how best to improve access to the countryside. To get involved,
visit the Kent Countryside Access Forum pages.
