Join us

Anyone can volunteer at Northumberland Wildlife Trust! With 61 nature reserves across the county, an active education and events programme, and a busy office, we really appreciate help from volunteers.

Whether you are happy to get your hands dirty on our reserves, enjoy helping out at events, or want to join our busy office team, we have a volunteering opportunity for you!

Volunteers are an important part of Northumberland Wildlife Trust and we hope to give everyone a fun and rewarding experience. We have an action force of over 250 volunteers who contribute around 180 days of work for us each month. Whatever your background, we can find a position to match your interests and abilities.

In addition to meeting new people and developing skills, volunteering with us brings many other benefits. We organise various training courses, from First Aid to brushcutter training, social events each year (including the annual beach BBQ!) and Call of the Wild, our bi-monthly volunteer newsletter to keep everybody up-to-date.

Volunteers really are the lifeblood of Northumberland Wildlife Trust. Why not read some of the experiences our volunteers gain from working with us.
