VOLUNTEERING
Voluntary action plays a huge part in the day to day running of the Trust’s projects and in enriching our work.
To find out more about the volunteering with us please have a look at our volunteering pamphlet here
Volunteers support all of our programmes of work, from school visits to helping with our Wellbeing project, our events and the practical conservation work undertaken on the nature reserve. Our projects such as Changing Chalk, Nature Links and Lewes Mosaic also have many volunteering opportunities.
Some roles can be undertaken on an adhoc basis, while others require more commitment and will involve some training. We try to tailor our volunteering opportunities so that volunteers benefit from giving their help - whether by improving their work experience and CVs, or from getting involved with a friendly, like minded group of people.
Meadow Minders
The Meadow Minders meet at 10am on the 1st Sunday of every month, and at 2pm on the third Friday outside the Linklater Pavilion and carry out practical conservation work to restore important wildlife habitats and to help maintain the site. Please wear clothes suitable for practical work and sturdy footwear. Protective gloves and tools are provided.
Future dates for 2023 are:
Sundays 5th November and 3rd December, from 10am
Fridays 15th September, 20th October, 17th November and 15th December, from 2pm
