Volunteering & Training

Want to get involved and make a difference to your local greenspace? Perhaps you are an individual, school or community group who would like to participate in community action? Then why not become a volunteer? Volunteering provides an opportunity to exercise in the fresh air and learn new skills with on the-job training.

Volunteers play an important role in the management of Cambridge’s Local Nature Reserves and there are a number of ways you can get involved.
