Please have a browse to find out about the many ways volunteers are helping to create the Forest of Marston Vale. You'll see that there is something for almost everyone, from practical conservation tasks to office work and everything in between. These days the Forest's success depends hugely on the enormous amount of time, enthusiasm and expertise given generously by volunteers.

In 2007, Volunteers gave over 7,700 hours to the Forest of Marston Vale...

..and we always need more, so if you have some time, read on, find out about what we do and who we are and contact us so that we can involve you too.

We really need your help!

Who are we?

The Forest of Marston Vale covers 61 sq. miles to the South East, South and South West of Bedford and is using trees to regenerate landscape damaged by clay and gravel extraction.
