The Yarner Trust has a strong tradition of attracting volunteers. There are opportunities to be involved in many aspects of the Trust’s work, ranging from practical work on buildings or gardens to office administration.

Like-minded people meeting on regular volunteer days can enjoy sharing knowledge and learning new skills in a friendly atmosphere, confident that they are supporting a worthwhile cause. Resident volunteers can also play a valuable role in the longer term. 

Please contact the Trust office to discuss how you might help.

 

These are arranged around a seasonal programme of work including woodland management, organic gardening and maintenance of our historic buildings.
Meet at 10am in the Barton. A light lunch is provided for the general volunteer days but on the hedge and coppicing days we ask you to bring a packed lunch. All days tend to finish at around 4pm.
