Trees for Life: Volunteer Work Weeks

Every year, people of all ages and backgrounds, from Scotland, the UK and beyond come to work with Trees for Life to help restore the natural environment. The work can be physically challenging, sometimes reaching work sites can require long walks over rough terrain so volunteers will need to have a reasonable level of fitness to take part. However, volunteers usually find a pace of work they can cope with. They also run a gentler Nursery Week, located at the field base, for those who feel the regular weeks may be too much for them.
