Volunteering

Volunteer for NWT

Volunteers play a very important part in the success of Norfolk Wildlife Trust and we really value their support, commitment and enthusiasm. We have more than 800 volunteers contributing 28,000 hours a year. As well as helping us to protect Norfolk's wildlife for the future, our volunteers learn new skills, meet new people and enjoy looking after some of Norfolk's most valuable natural areas.

We have volunteers of all ages and backgrounds and a range of tasks and activities to suit everyone at stunning locations all over Norfolk. Whether you are looking for a social activity, work experience, to get closer to wildlife or simply feel passionate about the Trust's work, we want to hear from you.

Some of the ways you can get involved:

Nature Reserves
Habitat management such as coppicing, fencing, brushcutting, or checking grazing animals, participating in bird counts and species monitoring
