Wilder Horsham District Volunteers

Our volunteers are truly part of the Wilder Horsham District project team, enabling us to hugely increase the impact of our on-the-ground delivery for nature recovery in the Horsham District. We would like to saya huge thank you to everyone who has volunteered with us so far and extend an invitation to all who wish to join us - we always love to welcome new faces!

Work Party Volunteering


Our work party volunteers help us carry out vital conservation tasks on privately or publicly owned land holdings within Horsham District, with the aim of improving land for wildlife to help nature’s recovery. The work we do is varied, with previous work parties including building leaky dams, hedge laying, invasive species removal, and plastic tree guard collecting. To find out more about being a work party volunteer, please see the Volunteer Role Description WHD Work Parties.

Survey Volunteering

Our survey volunteers will help us survey various sites around Horsham for particular taxonomic groups, principally plants, butterflies (and other invertebrates), and birds. This will help generate a baseline for sites that are trying to improve for wildlife and help inform management changes to those sites. To find out more about being a survey volunteer, please see the Volunteer Role Description WHD Survey Volunteer.
