What's going on Volunteer Tasks Help us look after the Forest of Marston Vale Volunteers are a huge part of our work force - we couldn't manage our sites without them. We have regular, practical tasks for our volunteers where all tools and info are provided - all you need to do is let us know that you're coming along, wear old clothes and strong footwear! What to do So that we have an accurate idea of numbers, please let the person organising the task know that you are coming. Parking charges do not apply when volunteering, so make sure that you give your registration number when you sign in for this task to be white-listed for the day. There'll be plenty of tea and biscuits, but if you plan to stay all day please bring a packed lunch with you. If you aren't already registered as a volunteer, then you need to contact Jo on 01234 762608 or send her an email.

Help us plant more trees Sign up to our newsletter You can choose to just hear about our events, or our campaigns and the work that we do locally. The more people that get involved, the quicker we'll be able to plant 5 million more trees and that can only be a good thing. Not just for the local area but for the planet.
