Volunteering at Westonbirt
Volunteers started the Friends of Westonbirt Arboretum in 1985. Over 25 years later, the charity continues to be led by a volunteer board of trustees and supports the Forestry Commission in managing a team of volunteers across the site.
Westonbirt thrives on the volunteers’ enthusiastic support and commitment. Volunteers enhance visitor engagement and enjoyment and provide much needed additional resources to staff. They undertake a range of activities, from practical woodland management to providing information to visitors and helping to deliver educational events. See photographs of our volunteers in action and submit your own pictures to the gallery.
Westonbirt aims to expand the opportunities for volunteers considerably with the development of the Westonbirt Project. Find out more about the future of volunteering here.
