Who Are We?
The Gatwick Greenspace Partnership is a community project managed by Sussex Wildlife Trust which carries out practical conservation work on a number of local green spaces and a range of outdoor educational activities for younger people as well.
The Role
4 tasks over 4 Tuesdays (June 2nd, July 7th, August 4th and September 1st 2026). 3 in Horsham and 1 in Crawley (see below for sites/dates).
The work is mainly Heathland or grassland management or invasive plant removal. The work is physical, involves some hand tool use and the sites are on un-even ground. The sites are fairly remote and are not always close to facilities. New volunteers may bring their own work gloves and soft drinks/sandwiches and everything else is provided. Sun hats, cream and long sleeves/ trousers are recommended.
Please call or email in advance if you are unsure if the task is going ahead due to the forecast.
No special skills required, although it is physical work between 09:45 and around 2pm for each session.
