Workparty calendar
Help protect Cumbria’s landscapes from damaging developments, tackle the pressures of tourism, and push for the bold action needed for nature recovery and climate resilience.
Join us for a party
Volunteers of all skill levels are welcome to come along and join us on our workparties. You may get wet and muddy, but you’ll meet new people, have fun, and help look after some beautiful places.
If you haven’t volunteered with us before please view our volunteer role description and please complete our volunteer registration form here.
Please bring warm clothes, waterproofs, gloves, a packed lunch and drinks and sun cream in summer. Please note there are no facilities on our sites, but plentiful trees and walls!
You must book to attend any of our upcoming workparties so that we can manage numbers and keep you up to date with any changes to our schedule.
If you have additional questions please email Jan Darrall: jan-darrall@fld.org.uk
Locations: Where are our volunteer conservation workparties? For locations and descriptions of each location, please visit the land we look after pages here.
More Information: You’ll find general information about times, equipment and locations on the individual event pages. More detailed information about the event will be emailed to you once you complete your booking. Please take time to read this information. All reasonable steps have been taken to ensure safety during the day but individuals participate at their own risk and the leaders and supervisors have discretion not to accept participants who are not suitably equipped or who they consider unable to participate safely.
