Volunteer for wildlife
Get hands-on for wildlife
Volunteers come to us for all sorts of reasons: to do their bit, to stay healthy, for the social element, for fun, for the challenge, to learn new skills or practice old skills, to prepare for the workplace, to help wildlife, to get out into the fresh air, to learn about wildlife – and occasionally it’s just to give it a go. One of Cornwall Wildlife Trust's great strengths is our network of volunteers who represent us in their part of Cornwall and coordinate our local Wildlife Groups and Specialist Groups.
Due to COVID-19 all volunteer work is suspended until further notice, please check back later in the year for opportunities to volunteer with us!
The groups organise a wide range of wildlife and fundraising activities at community venues and local wildlife sites all year round, to celebrate Cornwall's wildlife and countryside and encourage more support for Cornwall Wildlife Trust.
