Overview of the role:    

Activities are led by one of Surrey Wildlife Trust’s Voluntary Wardens - Nick Green - and take place at Brentmoor Heath once a month.
    
Time commitment:    

Flexible. Attend as often or as little as you like.

Monthly on a Sunday morning. The first Sunday of the month.

Days run from 10am until 12pm.

A taster session for the group will take place on Sunday 5th July. Nick will lead a walk around the site to show areas that volunteers have previously worked on, as well as some of the target areas that the group will work to change over the next few months! If you are local why not join us?
                            
Locations:    

This opportunity is based at Brentmoor Heath. 

The meeting point is the junction of Birch Lane and Broad Street.

What’s involved:

• Heathland management
• Clearing scrub and invasive plant species
• Path and fencing maintenance
• Creating habitat for rare heathland specialist species

Everything is explained on the day, with safety and tool briefings provided. 
                                
Skills and experience:    

No previous experience is needed. Activities are outdoors and can involve uneven or steep slopes, so volunteers should be comfortable with moderate physical activity.

By volunteering, you could:

• Learn practical countryside skills
• Spend time outdoors and meet like‑minded people
