Volunteer with us

Volunteering is a chance to make a positive contribution to improving your local area, learning new skills, making new friends and sharing or increasing your knowledge of nature conservation and Sussex, whether you can spare a few hours or a full day. 

There are plenty of opportunities available, from practical conservation, working with children, supporting our events or offering your specific skills to make a difference. You don’t need to make a regular weekly commitment to be a volunteer but you will need to register. 

Please visit our Frequently Asked Questions about volunteering.

If you'd like to get in touch about any aspect of volunteering, please email

Please note that it is currently taking 3-4 weeks to place a volunteer following initial application.
