What you will be doing

Our Wild Work Days are practical, hands on, nature conservation activities that take place on a number of our nature reserves across London. We will primarily be focusing on improving natural habitats to benefit local wildlife. One way we do this is through using a variety of hand tools to cut back dominant vegetation to allow for new regrowth and improve the structure of the landscape, allowing more species to find their niche and overall improving biodiversity.

Your Wild Work Day will be hosted by a first-aid trained member of staff who will provide a H&S briefing on the day specific to the activities the team will be doing. We provide all PPE, tools and materials needed. We do however ask that you wear sturdy footwear and clothing suitable for the weather.

What we are looking for

No previous experience is needed but please note this will be manual work. 

What difference this will make

You will help manage the nature reserve to help London's wildlife.

What to bring

Please be sure to wear appropriate clothing and footwear for the weather. Boots would be ideal. Please also bring bottled water. There is a cafe in the park but you are also welcome to bring a packed lunch.
