Volunteer with the LOHP
Getting muddy!
The LOHP relies on the enthusiasm and diverse skills of local people for its success. Although we use contractors for larger management taks. New volunteers are always needed to spread the load and to help us achieve more for the wildlife, landscape and enjoyment of our valley. The time given by volunteers is doubly useful because much of it counts as 'in kind' contributions towards some of our larger projects; the monetary value of volunteer time is used to increase the size of grant we receive.
All contributions are valued, from substantial regular involvement to just a few hours here and there. Just a few of many possible volunteering opportunities are suggested on this page. If you want to try a new skill, the LOHP may be able to help with training to get you started. Getting muddy is not compulsory!
