Cranborne Chase National Landscape

Get stuck in with practical conservation

Assist with vital practical conservation work across a number of Chase & Chalke projects.

Opportunities are available to join the Chase& Chalke team in a variety of practical conservation activities across our different projects that have a landscape focus.

Chiefly these are our 'A Crystal Clear Ebble', 'Nurturing Nature', 'Wonderful Woodlands', 'Greater Grazing', 'Champions of the Past' and 'Ancient Ways' projects. 

You'll join our team of enthusiastic practical conservation volunteers who work together with the Chase & Chalke team and our partners such as the Wessex Rivers Trust, Wiltshire Wildlife Trust, National Trust, Hampshire County Council, Wiltshire Council and others.

Volunteers will clear vegetation from scheduled ancient monuments, improve habitats, improve rights of way, clear invasive plants. You'll also be able to get involved with restoring hedgerows and woodlands with traditional coppice skills, as well as learn to use billhooks, saws, bowsaws, loppers and other equipment.
