Volunteering

Refreshments after the sponsored walk, 2007

At Carrifran we take great pride in the fact that around 45,000 trees (10% of the total) have been planted by volunteers who have contributed their time and enthusiasm. Apart from the saving in money, volunteer planting helps to maintain our grass-roots connections.

Planting days are great opportunities to meet other supporters of the Wildwood and have a good day out with volunteers of all ages. Children are also welcome – they are great planters – and anyhow there are usually some non-planting tasks.

There are three main ways you can get involved in volunteering at Carrifran:

  1. Volunteer planting days
  2. Tuesday volunteers
  3. Boundary Wardens

Finally, special volunteer events sometimes take place. We recommend you view the News & Events page for more information.
