Volunteering in the Woods

Volunteers have been essential to the continued management of the woods since 1993 when volunteering in the woods was first actively encouraged by Hillingdon Council. Since then varying numbers of willing volunteers have been carrying out various tasks such as charcoal production, coppicing, scrub clearance, boardwalk installation and much more. Volunteer numbers have remained steady for the last 30 years with an average of 10 participating on a weekly basis.

The volunteers are supervised by the Woodland Ranger who will provide safety equipment, guidance and tool training where necessary on the tasks to be undertaken.

The Management Group recognises the efforts made by the volunteers and places a high priority on maintaining and building on the number of participants.  Volunteering days take place weekly on Monday and Tuesday mornings and additionally one Saturday per month so if you would like to get involved please send an email to the address below.  One of the representatives will be in touch and any help you can give will be appreciated.
