Volunteering
Become a Heal Somerset volunteer
We're so excited to have launched volunteering at Heal Somerset! Our volunteers assist us with various practical activities such as wildlife surveys and land management projects. We do our best to offer a variety of different volunteering activities and hope everyone will find something to their liking.
All volunteer activities are held at our Heal Somerset site where you have access to a toilet, a shared staff kitchen and an outdoor and indoor space for breaks and lunch. We have plans to develop our volunteer facilities to include a volunteer common room, kitchen and boot room in the future, but for now all facilities will be shared between Heal Somerset staff and volunteers.
To see our current volunteering opportunities, please use the button below. If you are interested in volunteering with us, but do not see a relevant opportunity, you can register as a volunteer by clicking on any opportunity. By doing this, you will be put on our system and have access to new opportunities when they become live, as well as receiving emails about upcoming opportunities.
If you're interested in pursuing work experience or a student placement we have specific guidance for this further down on this page.

"I love volunteering for Heal. They host wonderful community group visits, which I am pleased to help with, and which gives life to their aim to both heal the land and heal people through the land. This includes me as I benefit from helping others to connect with nature here."

"I started volunteering at Heal pretty soon after it was acquired. In the last couple of years since I started surveying, I've noticed saplings of blackthorn, oak and aspen march out into the fields. It's fantastic to see the progression into a more diverse habitat in such a short time. I'm looking forward to seeing how it improves more and more over the coming years."
