Corporate volunteer days

KHWP offer corporate volunteer days all year round for teams of various sizes. You can help with one of our nature reserve management tasks such as controlling invasive species, scrub clearance, wildflower meadow management, and tree planting.  If you sponsor one of our environmental projects, your team could come out and help on your own project.

Our corporate volunteer days can be a great opportunity for your staff to learn a new skill – tasks like traditional coppicing, hedge laying, and constructing boardwalks are available every year. These can also be offered as dedicated workshops for your team.

To make an enquiry for a corporate volunteer day, please email cmp@khwp.org.uk
