Long Wood host a regular volunteering day each week called “Woodland Wednesdays.” Our volunteers are a mixed group from all walks of life, who come together for a common cause of improving the woods for visitors and wildlife. This session is led by our Warden who supervises all the tasks, provides guidance in using the tools and will even make you cups of tea and coffee to keep you going.

The group gets up to all sorts of tasks from woodland management, to path work, to greenwood crafts and also carpentry projects such as making bird boxes. If you’ve got a particular interest or skill you want to develop, just let the Warden know and they can tell you what’s coming up in the programme.

No previous experience or knowledge is needed to get involved, our Warden will be there to guide you through each activity. They are also First Aid trained. All tools and protective clothing such as gloves and hard hats (where needed) are provided. All you need to bring is suitable outdoor clothing and a packed lunch. We also have compost toilets available on site.
