Volunteer at Knowle Park

Volunteering at Knowle Park is a rewarding way to connect with nature, support our local community, and make a real difference to our beautiful park.

Whether you have an hour to spare occasionally or can come along every week, we would love to welcome you to our volunteer team.

What Our Volunteers Do

Our volunteers take on a wide range of activities all year round. Tasks include:

-General grounds maintenance (such as litter picking, weeding, pruning, and tidying)

-Ecology work (like planting, wildlife monitoring, guided walks, and hedge care)

-Supporting park events (helping with set-up, stewarding, and welcoming visitors)

We also hold occasional special volunteer days to tackle more significant projects, such as planting our new community orchard or creating new habitats for wildlife.

When and Where

We hold regular volunteer sessions at:

-9.30am on Tuesdays

-1pm on Saturdays

We meet by the Heartwork Coffee kiosk before heading into the park for around 90 minutes of practical work. Once we’re finished, we return for a well-deserved coffee and cake (optional, but highly recommended!).

All tools and instructions are provided, and each session is supervised by a trustee or the park manager.

We welcome volunteers of all abilities. If it’s your first session, just turn up and introduce yourself! We’re a friendly bunch!

Stay in Touch

After you’ve attended your first session, we’ll add you to our volunteer WhatsApp group. This keeps you up to date with tasks and reminders about upcoming sessions.
