Volunteering on the farm
If you are interested in carrying out practical conservation tasks on the farm, there is usually a range available: from tree planting and some surveys organised by the Friends to seasonal projects organised by the countryside warden team. Another option is joining Horsham Green Gym, a local volunteer nature conservation group. They run conservation tasks at Chesworth as part of their district-wide programme.
We also have a long-running, resourceful litter-picking team once a month (every second Saturday afternoon) and a group of creative bakers supporting our events, especially our popular monthly coffee morning.
Wildlife Garden
Since spring 2022, our Wildlife Garden team welcome new volunteers. Find out more about this extra haven for wildlife, full of ideas you can adapt for your own green spaces, next to the Volunteer Centre, an old barn in the centre of the site.
