Celebrating our volunteers
Volunteers have been at the heart of Surrey Wildlife Trust for nearly 70 years
From restoring habitats on our reserves and caring for livestock, to inspiring future nature champions through education and community work and keeping the wheels turning behind the scenes with administration and membership support, your contribution makes a vital difference to Surrey’s wildlife.
We are deeply grateful to all our volunteers and strive to recognise and celebrate everyone's efforts.
