Volunteering

6 month placements

Do you want to make a real difference to your environment and work with others to make it happen?

Bishops Wood Centre is offering volunteer opportunities for young people with a passion for the environment.

The successful volunteers will be expected to complete a qualification during their time with us.  This might be a qualification in outdoor learning, ECDL, First Aid, basic food hygiene, woodland management or other appropriate qualification which will be of use in obtaining employment.
