About organisation / project
The Forestry Commission are the experts in forests and woodlands, we are the tree people! Working with others we look after the country’s trees, woods and forests for the good of everyone – today and for the future.
Grizedale Forest is a busy hub offering a variety of unique experiences and activities for visitors. Since the late 1960's Grizedale Forest has been a pioneer of opening up forests as places for visitors to experience, leading the way in recreation and leisure in England's public forests.
Volunteer with us and help make your forest a fantastic place! Join your local team of volunteers to learn new skills, meet new people, make new friends and enhance your local forest for the benefit of nature and the community. There are a range of opportunities available from practical conservation volunteering, visitor welcome to field survey volunteers.
