Hi I’m Liz – I’m looking forward to helping you find you the perfect volunteer role, so you can join us in supporting our wonderful local woodlands. Everyone’s welcome here.

I work with disadvantaged communities, supporting them to volunteer, have their voices heard and campaign for better services. I’ve also worked with children and adults with special needs on forest school and woodland projects. And my love of plants led to a diploma in herbal medicine.

Drop me a line at the link below and I’ll arrange to phone you for a chat – or answer your questions by email if you prefer.
